YMMV / Aqua Regia

• Genius Bonus: The title of each chapter is tematically fitting to the events that're happening. Considering Fluhor is a music aficionado, it's understandable.
• Growing the Beard: General consensus is, after the prologue, the story becomes its own thing, with lore and more fleshed out characters.
• Nightmare Fuel: Cybernetics enhancements that produce energy? That doesn't seem too bad. Cybernetic enhancements that are very volatile and can end up killing you with a light tap, so to say, and then turn you into a cyber zombie full of body horror?, oh no.
• Realism-Induced Horror: While obviously Machina Revoltare is not real, and physics wouldn't allow it, living in a dictatorship where the leaders rule with an iron fist is something very real, and what's horrific, it's that the backstory of the comic, happened, without the fantastic elements.
