I so agree about the "so bad it's hilarious"!

And don't forget about "the villain randombly drops revelations although he has no reasons to just because the plot says so". XD

That's all I was thinking about while reading the chapter: why would Zeref suddenly tells him all those things? It's the best way to deter Natsu from killing him! Or did he change his mind and decide he didn't want to be killed after all? That would be inconsistent with sooo many things... (But then again, it was pretty much confirmed in an earlier chapter that Mashima is using "the Curse of Contradictions" as a convenient excuse to have Zeref behave as the plot demands at the moment. ._.)

So in other words, the correct order is: Natsu came, he got infodumped in a random and forced manner, he left.
