User blog comment:FairyRaven/Fairy Tail Chapter 421: Wendy and Chelia, Review and Commentary/@comment-1776824-20150223155327

Well, aside from all the hentai Carla will now be drawn in (that isn't remotely disgusting), I thought kinda liked the chapter, however I felt bored reading the whole thing. It was honestly predictable, minus the Saints becoming the new council, but I guess they just felt like reiterating the fact that Makarov is missing, though it was probably for ignorant Natsu and no one else.

I feel like this arc is going to drag on and on, because now after a few weeks, we can see that this is going to be all about reviving Fairy Tail, which I'm honestly hoping doesn't work as if it does, the only thing good that will come out of it is the possible character development, which isn't bad per se, but if they end up getting back together and causing shit now, it's just tasteless. Now if they got back together at the end of the series, that'd be great. :D

I'm also curious to see what the new macro-threat is going to be now that the Balam Alliance is gone and Zeref and Acno are likely going to remain untouched for about another 100 chapters. The chapter itself, for me, was a 7/10, mostly due to the fact that Carla has become...weird ( ... ( ._.)), and that the whole Wendy scenario was predictable. She had settled down and made peace with the fact that Fairy Tail was gone and didn't want to hurt her friend. I thought that was abundantly clear as of last chapter, but maybe I'm just really perceptive. >_> While I didn't know Jura and Sherry left (Ren babies, plz), I guess in the end she'll join them in the search for...well, I guess out of everyone, Gajeel and Lily will probably be next, with possibly Levy thrown into the mix. Due to Gray's relevance in the plot increasing substantially as of the last couple months, I see him being the last member of Team Natsu and their affiliates to come, with Erza most likely being right before him.
