"All in all I loved the series but this kinda pacing I feel dissapointed really"

This is me too. This arc had some really great aspects to it, but the constant cutting from one character to another, the dropping of some characters' parts of the story completely (Jellal), the dropping of some characters completely (Laxus, Raijinshuu), and the dragging out of some parts just made it messy. I know with weekly mangas and their constant editing and changing that stuff was bound to conflict and get a little twisted, but I think with a bit more planning beforehand some of this could have been improved immensely - the entirety of Erza's "makes no sense" (lol punny) fight is a perfect example of something that never should have made it to print.
