Comments of chapter undefined of Not the Last Airbender

Just once in my life, just once, I would like to see an avatar fanfic where the protagonist is not a bender. I mean, it can't be that hard, right? Just give a skill an ability or power based on Chi manipulation and something new and interesting can emerge. The series has already confirmed several times that bending is not the only thing you can do with Chi. And it's not like a fanfic needs to be limited to the rules of the world either. But other than that, the story is really fun. There are some things here and there that I think could have been explored better, but it's not like it's the end of the world. The only thing I believe I can complain about is that the story moved too quickly with very little development. From what I understand, Akimaru is 15 years old, but he finished school 3 years earlier than usual? Do young people from the Fire Nation graduate at 18, even those who are going to join the army? I always thought it was earlier, since Azula's trio are all teenagers who are definitely not yet 18 in the series. What I found most strange is that his family is so idiotic, but so idiotic that they didn't even try to leverage their own position using their intellect. It doesn't take a genius to understand that the kid has a pretty good head on his shoulders. If it were me in their place, I would try to place him in a position that exploited this intelligence, such as a strategist, engineer or even a developer of military equipment. How good would it be for their social and political standing if someone in the family got an important position? Ultimately, I think things are happening too quickly for the story's good. Aki and Azula need better development, they deserve decent development. This separation seems more like a bad excuse for the story to follow the canon, as well as being too cliché to accept.
