And so protecting his friends now means dragging them away from the lives they currently (and seemingly happily for those we've seen - Gray possibly aside depending on how you look at it) lead to reform a guild that was broken up because all of the members went through hardship? Why does Fairy Tail now equal friendship. I understand that it is (or was) an important part of their lives and they all bonded there, but I don't like that Natsu seems to think that the family can only exist within the stupid guild building. I loved high school and I miss it, but I don't call up all of my old friends and try to recreate classes in the school. I go see them outside of my new lifestyle at Uni and have fun then. I'm not hating on Natsu because he's the MC, rather because he's being incredibly selfish imo. He left with barely even a goodbye or a note and it's like he expected everyone to just wait for him to get back. He needs to wake up and realise that life doesn't work like that. Tbh I wish everyone would stop following him and tell him he's being silly.

"While it doesn't serve as a good reason to hurt your friends, well former friends and take lives of innocent people, he just wanted to fulfill his promise to his father and chose the wrong method to do it." And I'm supposed to like this behaviour?? That's not be hating on Gray for "no apparent reason", that's me thinking a character is going WAY too far.

And yes, if Jellal EVER turned evil again or did something as selfish as Natsu I'd probably just drop Fairy Tail. Thing is, Jellal isn't like that, which, funnily enough, is why I like him in the first place.

Btw, I don't have main character bias for something as stupid as "taking the spotlight". Erza, Lucy, Happy and Gajeel are all part of my favourite characters list .-.
