I definitely enjoyed Tress more, I think I enjoyed Yumi more than Lost Meta
This is about where I stand. I liked Yumi, it was good, and definitely better than Frugal Wizard, but I I liked Tress more.
Tress felt like a full cosmere adventure, with multiple layers to the magic system. Yumi’s magic system felt a lot less defined and versatile. He paints and the nightmares become docile. She stacks rocks and the spirits like it. Hion lines are electricity, but pink and blue instead of positive and negative. That was kinda it.
Meanwhile, Tress has an entire panopoly of different, color coded spores, including one that seems to tie back into Stormlight. We got a little further insight into what Elantrian magic has to offer, and see how advanced awakening technology gets.
Tress had the spirit of something like The Goonies - escaping from a mundane life into a crazy world of excitement. Yumi had the spirit of something like Ferris Bueller’s Day Off - young kids just kinda slacking off and escaping their responsibilities with a frantic rush to clean up some messes before they got in trouble.
Ferris Bueller is a good movie and all, but it doesn’t instill the same kind of excitement that something like The Goonies does. One is extraordinary and the other is like “yeah that’s chill.”
