In what ways? I haven't read it yet. It looked more interesting. Did the fanservice level go up again? Is that the complaint?
Well first of all i've mostly just skimmed the series since i read the first chapter and didn't like it so maybe there is some depth to the series i'm missing but I doubt it.
From what i have read It just feel very recycled in a lot of ways. Right away you'll notice how many charcter desings just feel copy and pasted from fairy tail.you mention fanservice and while i'm not sure i can say it's gone up i also certainly don't think it's gone down, you get the same revealing outfits and ass and boobs shots as fairy tail. Even the battle system feels the same. In eden's zero they have ether gears which gives the user a specific power, like the main character who has gravity powers. You could basically just replace ether with magic and once again ,same as fairy tail.
The biggest issue that i have with it and why i say that in some aspects it' worse than fairy tail is where Mashima tries to differentiate eden's zero from fairy tail by making it "Darker."
Most of the villains are cartoonishly evil in their depictions in the most hamfisted way. Like you can just hear Mashima yelling in your ear "hey isn't this guy super evil? isn't this dark and disturbing?" Like there is one character who is a narrator for the story that basically turns to the reader and says that.
Its fairy tail trying to be edgy to simulate having depth.
