Yeah.... no. I didn't miss the point of his character. If you read my comment, you'll see that I said "Zeref, due to the curse on him..." I'm well aware that his curse causes his contradictory nature. I'm saying that the contradiction, while an interesting concept, doesn't make for an interesting villain.

@Ncduru The only thing good about Zeref is his backstory, which was very well written. He's been a complete and utter disappointment in everything besides that. :P
