User blog comment:Miskos3/Fairy Tail 2018 + FINAL CHAPTER Review/@comment-4449950-20170722112612

Okay, I read this hours ago and I need to sleep cause I'm going overseas tomorrow and have to get up at 5AM so I'll make this quick with what I remember...

GOOD:
 * Lucy pursuing writing. Even if I'm very, very meh about FT overall, I must say I do like Lucy as a character and where she's been. It was a good way to end her story, and I really liked it that she noted that though her book didn't make her rich, it was still a worthwhile dream and pursuit. That's a nice thought.
 * Jet and Droy legit being happy for Lucy. Gotta love those two.
 * Kinana and Cobra are dating, yay!
 * Albis still strong.
 * Chelia getting her powers back. I know, I know I should be pissed that her sacrifice is being undone, BUT, did we really expect different? Ngl, at this late stage, I would have been more pissed if she didn't get her powers back, cause it would pretty much mean that she was so unimportant and hated by Mashima that she's the only character to not get a sacrifice undone. Cept Ultear of course, cause honestly Ultear was awesome.
 * Freed CrimeS. At least Meredy got to be shown in one last panel.
 * Jellal and Erza seemingly still communicating. Eh, I dunno what I expected, so I'm glad it was at least sweet.
 * Miraxus being shut down XD XD XD *rolls on the floor laughing*
 * ElfEver confirmation ;D
 * Natsu being in Lucy's house. You're right Misk, that shit never gets old. I cackled.

BAD:
 * The stupid Mavis and Zeref cameo. Honestly, wtf was that? Mashima showed them happily going into the afterlife, why have this shit? Like... to show they are happy? Because they seemed to be. To continue the trend that no one can die? Well, have fun being eternal entire FT cast.
 * Haha August.
 * Poor Wally and Richard never reuniting *sheds a single tear*
 * Poor Mermaid Heel being reduced to modelling. Honestly Mashima? You have a semi-good idea of an all-female guild with a badass swordswoman and you reduce them to being models? *sighs*
 * Gruvia. I... don't even want to talk about it.
 * I'm not really against Gajevy, but why were they talking about that kind of stuff out in the open at Lucy's big celebration? Like, come on, save it for later .-. Kinda put me off tbh, Levy is like one of Lucy's best friends, I would have preferred the Gajevy drop be Lucy teasing Levy about how close she is to Gajeel or something. W/e though.

So... overall I don't mind how things were wrapped up, but series-wise overall I've been disappointed for some time. Still, it's sure been a ride, and there are many of you here that I'm very grateful to have met. We still have the anime though, so we're gunna have to stick around to watch it together ;D

Final series score: 4.5/10, between bad and average.
