Then I suppose its massive popularity and massive fan-base just sprouted out of thin air? Not trying to be hostile but there is a reason why the fan-base is still strong(and constantly getting new fans) despite the lame arcs recently. But in my defense, Fairy Tail is very dear to me(it saved my life, no I'm serious) so forgive me if I sound biased. Still, even you must admit that RAVE is fabulous despite its art-style. So even if FT is bad, you can still read RAVE and still get a taste of Mashima's good work or you can read his other works like Monster Hunter Orage or Monster Soul, they are quite good for being super short.
