Walk on Water
The art is honestly stunning. The only gripes I have with it overall is the how the story was written at times. Truly, it could've been better fleshed out. The length of the manhwa is 100% fine however, it really felt like at times, the story was being rushed/not conveying the emotions and plot very well. Since the original is in Korean, maybe there's more nuance to it that just wasn't translated very well, but anyway, that's the major bone I have to pick with it. The other is the weird childishness towards the end on everyone's part. I fail to see why events from ch.55 and up happened the way they did. It felt as though I was reading a teen-oriented fanfic and it really rubbed me the wrong way. You can ask me in ten years why Derek punched Mcqueen and I still wouldn't know why. There was no reason for that, let alone the fact that he has no business doing anything on Ed's behalf considering that Derek got mad at him for trying to fix shit in his life and then abandoned him at his lowest. I know it's fiction, but wow, that shit would not occur irl, and if it did and Ed is tolerating that violence towards his bf, Mcqueen, honey, you need to run. Also, can we just be done with the whole, "I'm straight!!!! but like, if it's this one guy that has this 'aura'" bs already? It's getting old and very much becoming a cliché, okay? Anyway, besides those things, fantastic art, interesting concept, loved the dark and dingy vibe it was going for. It really painted Ed's dire life well. Very good read.
Decision
Both are absolutely nutty, logic doesn't really apply here, and the story makes sense but it's hella rushed.
Trap City
Tbh Noah was seriously annoying to me, but it's pretty obvious that it's meant to be that way. The story was rather jumbled and honestly could've used some polishing but whatever. I didn't love it, there just wasn't a spark for me, but the sex scenes are probably what sell this the most. I feel like the dynamics could've been more fleshed out, too. Overall, for me, a meh about sums it up.
