They were in a way, but there are good parts. Overall, it was ok, not bad, but prepare for dumb stuff that kills some hype. But the arc that just ended was pretty good. It was Hiro's "playtime is over" arc.
One thing that would keep me going is the humor in Fairytail- and no, I'm not referring to this aweful fanservice.
My brother used to really love Fairy Tail, but he said the stories got repetitive after a while.
But that end in chapter 416 got me interested tbh. I'm a big fan of timeskips, and usually I jump back into a manga when I hear that there is a timeskip. It's a lame reason, but I'm sure a lot of people will jump back in if there really is a timeskip happening in FT now.
EDIT: And what's up with all this Erza hate? She was my favorite female character in the series.
