Am I really the only person who didn't like the chapter?

I mean, come on. Nothing pretty much happened except for all these cliffhangers that Mashima is giving us. All we know is that Gajeel found a graveyard for Dragons, Levy's all scarred and writing to Lucy sometime in the future, Jellal meets this lady.

Now, firstly I don't have much to say for the Gajeel and Levy moments because all I'm really thinking is "Tell us what happens and then end the arc" because it's been getting more BS with each chapter, just saying. Now, about the Jellal case. I don't know how many times I've seen people speculate on how that person could be... but damn, seriously.

Why is that people think it's Layla or Lucy? Layla is dead and she has less screentime than Jellal could have ever imagined. In addition, I honestly doubt Mashima would pull off another Naruto resurrection thing. Not saying all revivals are Naruto's thing but they went overboard on that. Now, about Lucy being this "Zeref". Apparently people think it's Lucy from a different time period. Let's get it pointed out, people. This chapter was just disappointing. It was more of a plot chapter than a fight or talk chapter, and don't get me wrong I do like seeing more details in the current arc. Although, seeing as to how nothing exciting, maybe a little interesting but just not enough to get me entertained, with this arc.... all I'm looking forward is to seeing this GMG end.
 * Past Lucy: Makes no sense. At all.
 * Present Lucy: She's in the hospital the whole time.
 * Future Lucy: What is this? Seriously, someone from the future coming into the present? This isn't Terminator or anything. And this shouldn't be that Memory Days OVA either. Personally, I find this whole "the past wouldn't be the same without the future" thing is just... weird. I didn't see it working for any series (an exception being Terminator) and I don't really think this should be something FT does too.
