Imagine if you will, if someone grew up on dragon ball, with its fun and silly magical world filled with witches and wizards and magical creatures. Then added a character straight from Dragonball Z and transported them in to Dragonball. Then got rid of the best parts of all of them and only told the stories from all the boring filler episodes. Thats this series in a nut shell.
I stuck out this far when the last book mentioned steampunk esc or modern technology from a foreign land. Then completely dropped that story thread for a filler inception Naruto Shippuden war side plot.
