Walk on Water
This was so perfect omg definitely one of my favorites. I saw a pin of them on pinterest like 2-3 years ago and no joke thats literally what got me into bl. I planned to read this as soon as i found this website but obvs i didnt....so im just glad i finally did (read in 2 days and 1 hr) cause omg this was such a fucking masterpiece. The art, characters, plot, its all just so perfect. Sure, there were a lot of embarrassing moments that made me take like a 6 hour break and i was literally going insane while reading it but it all made sense and im glad those scenes were there cause its just so necessary. Something else is that i wasn't really sure if i would like this because it takes place in NY and i usually only like bls that take place in korea cuz its just better yk but this did not disappoint! The names did cringe me out a bit but the characters are ATTRACTIVE and a lot of the time manhwas make western ppl ugly so this was just really refreshing (and reassuring ) and its also so cute that a pale vampire-like korean is in love with a tan hunky american like omggggg thats so cuteeeeee!!! Some of the side plots and side characters annoyed me a little bit but it also made it more realistic in a way. Idk man this was just so amazing i really enjoyed reading this i wish i read it earlier but its fine at least i read it now i do not regret it at all even though i shouldve been playing violin or studying but thats okay this is literally peak this is so goated der recommending this to my friend AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

omg igh i was writing a review that was no joke like SO long but my screen just HAD to refresh :(((( ill try my best to rewrite everything ig.. okay so this is literally PEAK OMG the art style is sooo delicious and the characters are amazing and the plot is really cool!!!! the mcs skylar and cirrus are so scrumptious like I WANT THEMMMM. Okay so firs im gonna talk abt the story and storytelling: its good, original, had cliffhangers and things that make the readers want to keep on reading, and it was honestly really fun. im gonna be honest tho.. there were a lot of unnecessary scenes that were really dramatic and unrealistic that i feel like disrupted the plot a little bit. like there were so many fights and fists thrown and collar grabbing that just would never happen irl, so i found that a bit annoying. but i like how there were flashbacks and we got to learn more about sky and cir and like why they became the way they were but sometimes it felt like the author just put a flashback because she didnt know what else to put, or sometimes the flashback felt a bit too long. another thing is i like how unpredictable it was, at least in the beginning. because im sure almost everyone who read it including me thought that skyler was gonna be with chan il, but then cirrus slowly started getting introduced and then it was like wait- is he gonna end up with cirrus? and i just thought that was really cool cause that cheeto head honestly got on my nerves a lot. other than the plot being a little confusing at times. it was well developed and it all tied together and made sense in the end. 2nd is characters: the characters are AMAZING!!! the names really suit them and their designs are really good. i love how sky stopped wearing glasses in the end as part of his character development UGH its so beautiful. yeah, everything about the characters are beautiful, even cirrus's awful dad and stepmom, and the fat kid who kissed sky in middle school, like even if its not their looks that are beautiful its their character and what they bring to the story thats beautiful. like all the characters they just have to be there, the story would feel incomplete if they werent. now im gonna be more specific and talk about the families, first skylars family. i love how he doesnt have a father figure so it shows that his mom has to work hard to take care of him and his sister and how shes stressed out a lot and always worries about skylar. so it makes skylar feel like he gets all this attention thats not love but just pity or concern or even judgement, even though its just mother love <3 and i also really like how his sister is just caught up in the mess because thats the reality when one of the siblings is "messed up" but the other one isnt. now cirrus's family, i love how crazy and sad it is. i love how his relationship with his dad is terrible and the only one who was by his side was his dog. i think it really shows how desperate he is for love to the point where he'll be obsessed with a literal animal. okay now im gonna talk about character development. so at the start cirrus and skylar are like REALLY messed up, mentally and socially. skylar had anxiety and i think(?) depression and trauma, and cirrus also had depression i think but im not a doctor so idrk and he was also very aggressive and scared to show his true self. they both had trust issues and not that many true friends. but then the more time they spend together the closer they got and more open they were to each other, and if i remember correctly skylar was the first person who cirrus told about his parents so he started to trust skylar first and take the barrier down little by little. and also over time skylar started smiling more and enjoying life, and i really like how in the end he started not wearing his glasses because im pretty sure he first started wearing them to hide himself and look differently but then he became confident and i just thought that was really cool. and at the end i really like how skylar never gave up on cirrus and kept on trying to reach out to him despite him not answering or showing himself for like 2 months. and also how cirrus didnt expect people to care about him, like he genuinely thought they would all hate him but they didnt. yeah him and skylar both did that a lot, assume things before they actually happen and they try to prepare themselves for the worst things, and i find that really relatable because a lot of people have anxiety or just jump to conclusions too quickly. Something else im gonna talk about is affection, i wish they did more!!! like yeah they did kiss a couple times and it was aggressive kissing but i really wanted like a cute kiss and one that was genuine love and admiration, but they did smile st each other a lot and comfort each other so i guess its fine. but i like how they never had sex (even tho it was kind implied they did but it didnt show it) because sometimes manhuas have way too much smut like theyre literal high schoolers and like yeah adults at the end but yeah i just like it. okay so im getting tired and im just gonna say that this was really good. i did have higher expectations for it because everyone was saying that it was THE BEST and i can see why but it just disappointed me in some chapters. but it was really really good and ill def reread it
