Rein’s character is relatable, as his determination to prove his worth resonates with anyone who has felt underestimated.

The plot in this comic book, while enjoyable, follows a somewhat familiar trajectory of an underdog protagonist rising to the occasion. While this theme is universally appealing, adding unexpected twists or unique challenges could elevate the narrative and keep me and other readers on their toes.
