I'd like to suggest what you like about Fairy Tail or what made it fun to read.

Mainly because i noticed something very interesting about it. While many people consider Fairy Tail to have some cliche moments, it has successfully avoided a big one most others in this genre share. I also think this is why the Manga seems to move fast, at least in my mind.

Here is what i noticed: Powers and Tactics

It is very straight forward with tactics and the fundamentals of its powers. There are no long discussions on the micromanaging of how they're going to fight each and every person like in all the other Manga's. If they do, it rarely takes very long for them to say and is very to the point about it. Magic itself is somewhat explained in later episodes.

Many people might point this out as a flaw. Ultimately though, I can't help but feel it is a stregnth. Less is more in this situation. I can't tell you how many times in the anime shows and other manga's they continuously have long discussions over every little thing/move tactic. It always requires them to repeat themselves over and over.

Watching the anime/reading manga you'll notice it only takes them a few seconds to explain quickly what other shows will stall for time with.

These reasons set it apart for me and made it very easy to get into. I also like the characters and the plot is usually engaging to me. I also think the jokes are good.
