I actually found most characters too silly, their quirks only played for laughs and with no real frienship purpose aside form being so.
Frankly enough, there are still too many light stories, and most heroes are far from being dark.
I think Fairy Tail is more like the degenaration of every shonen manga, with all stereotypes and no fresh breath, not to say the reason the Darker And Edgier series are taking over

Heh, I guess we’ll just have to agree to disagree in that point, especially the notion of “degenaration of every shonen manga”. However, I do respect the fact that you were able to keep your opinion quite respectful to my semi gushing of this series

Quite Likable
As fan of a manga and animes who are perfect examples of True Companions and The Power Of Friendship who also loves as a plus to have likable character with Hidden Depths as their main characters and between Well Intentioned Extremist, Woobie Destroyer Of Worlds and Noble Demon for most of their main villains (with a few exceptions) alongside with Growing The Beard quite early my mind mind, having interesting uses of magic and having in my mind a great Myth Arc I was quite interested in to see how Fairy Tail held up, as I is was told this had a little bit of everything I liked about a story
And in my mind its biggest strength its that is has a likable cast for the most part
Granted, it does its weaknesses in terms of story telling (Especially in the Tournament Arc where some of the victories come as predictable just because it’s against Fairy Tail, which come as a tad cheap) but what’s story doesn’t have its weaknesses? But in my mind its biggest strength is the fact that a great number of the characters are actually quite likable and have their own interesting personality. These are the kind of people I would spend my time reading about because I enjoy seeing them win, because I enjoy their friendship and their bonds as a family and True Companions. I enjoy reading it because the majority character actually bring a grin to my face and I like how their personalities mesh together to make the wacky yet likable as they are. Granted, this might be because my own family is really this close, or because overall in the Sliding Scale Of Idealism Versus Cynicism I am almost always in the idealist side to the point that its sometimes funny, but this is a manga is really something to me personally because how it treats the bonds of trust and friendship.
And sense it seems every time I turn it seems most still ongoing Shonen seem to being going towards the unnecessarily Anti Hero Darker And Edgier route (with a few notable and very worthy as well as excellent exceptions) this manga really is like the much needed breath of fresh air I greatly needed
