Very cute art style! The story is also really interesting, it would be great as a series!

2/2 However, when involving Everlast, restraining is impossible. Put them in a cage, they’ll get rid of it; Knock them out, they’ll eventually wake up.
The only way to permanently stop someone abusing the fact that they’re an Everlast is to kill them - that’s the moral dilemma.
Both Slash and Franz could easily kill Ivan and be done with it, but they are characters that think of death as the easy way to solve an issue. Naomi, as the one who can just take away the main issue, is the best solution.

Also – Yeah, the last stretch of action is very confusing (sorry about that). This is mostly because of its vagueness; Both Slash and Franz use their Magnum but I didn’t want to reveal what they were yet, so I relied on imagery only, which I believe was my biggest mistake.

Again, thank you very much for the criticism, it really helps paint a clear picture in my head.
I do hope you'll enjoy some of the things I'm cooking for future chapters!

1/2 I always love some good in-depth criticism!
Thanks for the compliments! As for the rest:

Since this is the first chapter I tried to make Naomi the focus, so my idea was that both Slash and Franz wouldn't give it all their all, and instead they would just showcase the scale they can work at. This sadly would always result in their performance being underwhelming compared to what Slash says they are.

First and foremost, I should definitely talk about Ivan... He's lackluster for sure.
Sadly though, that's just the effect Slash has on villains. You say that super-intelligence can allow for incredible things and I 100% agree, but for that you'd need the opposing force to pose a threat to Slash (which, let's not discredit Ivan, he's decently smart, but Slash was completely in control of this entire chapter).
Ivan's biggest issue as the 'bad guy' of this chapter is that he was never enough of an issue to have both the strongest and smartest against him, and I’m aware of that.

For sure! I love criticism, both positive and negative!

Really cute art style and interesting characters! I'm getting really invested in this universe.

Thank you very much! It means a lot to me that you felt that.

Thank you so much! It will continue for sure, but I'm still not sure how long each chapter will take to be finished.
