Agree with FTGM about the length of the read; wasn't that bad. If anything it was quite interesting. I don't normally have a problem with characters in any medium unless they do something to piss me off; Minerva for example. Having said that, she actually brings something to the story so I wouldn't change her.

If there's any character(s) I'm going to rant about it's Jet & Droy. Before the time skip they occupied two roles for me; comic relief and something to spice up the Phantom Lord war. This I liked, didn't have a problem with 'em. Jet was even somewhat likeable during the 24 heures de Magnolia. The pair were also useful for introducing Laxus, when they were getting revenge on Gajeel, by being terrified of him.

Now however they don't seem to fulfill any slightly important role. Jet as an errand boy maybe and that's it to me. Now that Gajeel seems to be accompanying Team Shadow Gear on every job, the point of Levy's fanboys isn't needed as any form of comic relief they did offer isn't amusing anymore - granted that's subjective - and they've done nothing supportive for the guild since the Tenrou team's return.

With Tartarus now in the picture, and despite their current disappointing excuses for battles, they are a genuine threat to FT, having taken Laxus, Erza and Mirajane out of the picture for the moment, not to mention that Gildarts has disappeared and Mystogan being long gone; the only decent fighters left are the S-Class candidates. As such it gives Levy and Gajeel a good chance at character development. Why? Tartarus aren't afraid to kill people and as such should Shadow Gear + Gajeel and Lily encounter one of the Nine Demon Gates there should be no way, in my eyes, that Jet or Droy last. Should they be rendered KIA it gives Levy a chance to develop as a character; having lost two of her closest friends therefore having an excuse to use Second Origin - something we've not seen her use - not necessarily to win on her own but to assist Gajeel. It also gives Gajeel a chance at character development, if Jet and Droy are killed, it gives him a chance to be a shoulder to cry on for Levy therefore developing both of their characters, albeit at the expenditure of two less important ones.

Should Jet and Droy die, Mashima could do it by having them save Levy thus dying heroes. That automatically improves peoples memories of them, it gives Mashima a chance at character development; not only for Levy and Gajeel but the rest of FT too as is pointed out by Lisanna's initial 'death' and the subsequent development of Elfman and Mira.

Anyway, that's my thoughts on the matter. Apologies if it went too off topic.
