Agreed. I think one of the biggest problems is that Mashima worries too much about trying to leave on some kind of big cliff hanger. At the end of these chapters we always get these moments where one side is seemingly dominating the fight, which honestly isn't necessary. I'd prefer it much more if they were just duking it out blow by blow. That makes the fights a thousand times more interesting.
