Looks good but I want italic comments

Add following to your settings file:

augroup colorscheme_change | au!
    au ColorScheme alchemist hi Comment gui=italic cterm=italic
augroup END

set termguicolors
colorscheme alchemist

And bold statements

Add following to your settings file:

func! s:alchemist_setup() abort
    hi Comment gui=italic cterm=italic
    hi Statement gui=bold cterm=bold
endfunc

augroup colorscheme_change | au!
    au ColorScheme alchemist call s:alchemist_setup()
augroup END

set termguicolors
colorscheme alchemist

And VertSplit without background colors

func! s:alchemist_setup() abort
    hi Comment gui=italic cterm=italic
    hi Statement gui=bold cterm=bold
    hi VertSplit guibg=NONE ctermbg=NONE
endfunc

augroup colorscheme_change | au!
    au ColorScheme alchemist call s:alchemist_setup()
augroup END

set termguicolors
colorscheme alchemist

What about terminals with semi-transparent backgrounds?

Add this:

let g:alchemist_transp_bg = v:true
