These series are all about a hero who overcomes a villain that seems impossible with not just the strength of his body, but the power of the heart.
One Piece is a lot like FairyTale. A simple minded hero and a band of others who bond like family. Even Luffy's Gear system he pulled out out of nowhere during the Enes Lobby arc.
The difference between all those manga compared to Fairy Tail is they never really got too repetitive. The main characters in those series became stronger for a reason, training or whatnot, you see them grow as characters. You don't see any of this with Natsu, he simply becomes stronger and stronger, gains random new abilities, takes massive amounts of damage and keeps getting up, as Drago said it's boring and repetitive. He was getting rocked by Luxus for half a dozen chapters then suddenly pulls out an attack that one shots him. Okay....
