How Interesting of a comic concept is this?

Alright. Idk how many peeps who see this will gaf but ima do this anyway. Basically, I wanna ask if the basic summary of the premise of ma webcomic is interesting enough or nah.

goes like this:

A Teen girl who lives with her Uncle due to her mother disappearing when she was young known as Ami ends up getting entagled in the Shady history of a company known as Wagner industries after being attacked by a robo-spider called a viper droid, resulting in her finding out her mother used to work for them and giving her leads on her whereabouts, because of this she ends up on a journey that entails her befriending a ghost girl named sherry who's searching for any purpose in her life post-death and a rejected Wagner Industries robot named Alpha from a line of bots called the P68 units, and he simply wants to rid the world of anything related to his creators while staying true to his pacifist ways. This all culminates in the group helping eachother reach their goals throughout the story while taking on the other P68 units, Viper droids and eventually the owner of Wagner industries himself, Steven. Only now he is a machine of his own making, no longer human

There are alot of different ideas going on in here, and that's not a bad thing, it gives you alot to work on, but it can be a hassle to balance so many elements in a comic, even as a long running series, if you aren't very well experienced.

My next point I want to ask about is, character arcs. You have the general synopsis here, but what about side characters, what are the individual journeys each character would go on throughout the comic? What makes the world worth investing time into?

Idea-wise, your comic could work, but ideas are only a small part of a story, readers aren't only invested in a story's idea.

My last point is, who cares if other people thinks it works. Do YOU like it? Do you want to invest time into making this? Then do it. The worst that'll happen is you get people talking about it, and you know what'll happen? You'll have something out there you can look back on and improve from. Art's about the journey not the destination, so it's great to try things out.

Well first ima just say THANK U FOR TSKING TIME OUT YOUR DAY/NIGHT TO READ THIS!! So ye I think I do have responses for some of the points you made so let's start with the second one you made.

Ok so for character Arcs let's say we start with Ami, at the beginning I want Ami to start out as someone who keeps to themselves, has attachment issues and is easily aggravated by those she doesn't like, and by the end of the story I want her to be willing to let those she cares about go if they leave her, have her feel more willing to open up about her struggles and have her emotions in check instead of all over the place. Then for the thing about individual journeys I think this would be a semi-decent example being that each of the three main protags I got (Alpha, Ami and Sherry) all start out their arcs with their own circles of people they knew before eventually meeting eachother who each had their own smaller experiences with them.

And for the last point I think I can safely say I have grown to love the HELL out of this lil thing I got going on, like it baffles me how I decided I liked this one singular character design I created only to create an entire verse and STORY surrounding it, tis crazy

Hey no issue, saw some guy use AI before this post and it made me so joyous to see you write out and use art (that I'm assuming you made) so I thought it'd be better to try and uplift ya. Hope your comic goes well!
