My guy, today is not a good day to ask for a review… Don’t say no one warned you…

I made chapters very short, isn't it? Introduction is important and that's the purpose of initial chapters.
nothing happened in chapter 1 so i read chapter 2 and somehow less than nothing happened

chapter 2 should literally be your glossary. if i were you, i'd copy all that info into glossary and delete chapter 2 and just write scenes with the characters, describing them along the way.

"looking out on the city confidently" and i'm kinda shrugging

your prose was good enough that i wanted to see more, but there was nothing more to see

That's just difference in opinion.

I don't like these things things to be explained in glossary.
I like stories where everything is described along the story.

Thanks for review, I'll think of it.

I just read chapter 2, and I also think you should rewrite it. In its current form, it's just an info dump. Try to reveal the details one after another, not all at once.
