The Bride of the Water God focuses on more style than substance and the protagonist isn't very life-like. Focuses on too much conflict and political like struggles which I love, but they make it very redundant and repetitive. Not enough emphasis on the main characters and needs a theme, I enjoyed it to a degree, but it was short-lived as this manga is boring and I couldn't care about the characters. The relationship between characters in this manga is very shallow and the communication between them is very boring. The idea of a person being offered to a God isn't very original, but could have been much better executed. Parts of this manga was enjoyable, but the more you read it the worse it gets. Overall it was a below average story, characters, and plot, but the art is pretty good.
