WTF is this?! Zeref becomes a white god then defeated with a single punch from Natsu suddenly...i know that Mashima want end it.. but he is throwing his own (ex masterpiece) into the trash literally



Ex-Masterpiece? When could have been this series labeled as a "masterpiece"? This series has been bad for 400+ chapters, with nothing but horribly copy-paste styled arcs, boring and stereotypical characters and 0 excitement in battles as you always know who wins. On top of it, it had the most boring and one-dimensional cardboard villains I've ever seen. Unsatisfying arc conclusions, dumb Deus Ex Machinas, illogical cliffhangers and 0 zero manga logic in terms of power level, character decisions and such. Nothing makes sense when you think about things for 2 minutes. Natsu is the most unsympathetic main character I have ever witnessed.



It's clichéd, horrible and was only good back in the beginning as it offered some nice ideas that were quickly ran into the ground and beaten to death for 400+ chapters. This chapter is the biggest pile of shit I've seen for FT. Mashima should just go and draw hentai, since this is what he has been wanting for such a long time as shown with the increase in FT fan service.

Can someone recommend me a manga that doesnt suck, please? No joke, I'm that desperate for something good after this abomination.



One Piece manga won't disappoint you. Oda puts a lot of work into his planning and it pays off. Impressive foreshadowing (maybe the best in the manga genre), big conflicts, great world building, diverse characters with their own motivation, understandable power level (main characters aren't overpowered like in FT), diverse arc-schemes, tackles social themes like racism, slavery and such. Has no bad writing as Oda doesn't write for the next cliffhanger but for the whole arc itself. It also has a journey and a feeling of progress the more you read it compared to FT where just villains pop out of nowhere. Arcs build on top of each other as they introduce and foreshadow bigger events for the later series. Deus Ex Machinas and twists sometimes come out nowhere but always make complete sense when you think about them. It's an unpredictable series where in the end things still make sense as Oda is great at writing his story. He puts all of his work towards OP and isn't like Mashima who stopped giving a shit about his series 400 chapters ago.

Stopped commenting at some point cause you think mb next chapter/soon it will get better, but this was only going down and down. Can't say anything other than it was atrocious ... I think new project from Mashima is already announced and after reading this i don't think can be hyped even a little bit.

My reaction for this chapter.

I could defend but ... no ...

No no and no.

And aobut One Piece, i'm sorry, i don't found it "better", it's too slow ... Really too slow.

To be fair Lucy did rewrite Natsu's soul book thing so him beating zeref is not out of nowhere.

Hope ichiya and anna are alive.

Damn, 10 chapters to go. I understand why the Natsu vs Zeref fight is short, but I already knew that Natsu would win anyway, so...



Now for one of my otps in the show, Zeref and Mavis. As much as I love them, I'm not sure if Zeref gets a happy ending..

I literally have no words for this chapter ... this was the most horrible chapter ever . I can't smh ......

Well that is that then. Zeref defeated by Natsu. Acnologia defeated by a flying ship. All that is left is Zeref redemption and this manga series is done with.



Mashima did say that the series would end in 2 volumes and since there is 8-9 chapters a volumes there should be at least 16 more to come so I wouldn't be surprised if  Acnologia survived the time-lapse somehow.

One Piece is good. Has some mediocre arcs but the adventurous feel is very enjoyable throughout.





The older arcs actually get better the longer the series goes as the later events were foreshadowed in the previous arcs and make connections to them. Everything feels interconnected. Only Oda is able to pull this off. And One Piece has maybe the greatest foreshadowing in the entire manga genre, your respect will grow a lot as soon as you find it out. Sadly, too many people only "read" the manga to get from one page to another and will miss the majority of greatly built foreshadowing in OP. While character development isn't a focus on it, it's still there, the strength of One Piece lies in world building, myster creation and unpredictability.
