Have a look at the reviews of the 18-55mm and the 35mm f/2 at Lenstip

https://www.lenstip.com/

I see that their tests show much better image resolution for the 35mm f/2 vs. the 18-55mm at 30mm.  I find that the 35mm f/2 is quite sharp in the centre, though less so at the edges.  I use it very frequently on my X-E style bodies.  If you like this focal length, it's a good buy and not unreasonably expensive, IMO.  BUT, the 27mm  pancake is also very nice.  AND, if you want a faster lens (aperture), the 35mm f/1.4 has many groupies.  

Best of luck deciding.
