Translation is good(at least up to chapter 40, beyond that I've got no clue) and so is the stability of updates, getting that out of the way I'll start talking about the story itself. The story development has been pretty good, I really like the initial idea with the electric eel, its always been something I've wanted to see in an evolve type novel like this. The way the electric eel is put into the story is pretty good and watching it develop is pretty fun. MC is able to use lightning powers because the EE is an avatar of his and the level and the way they're used is good, not too underdeveloped and not too OP. The development of him going into school and being the genius and getting resources is pretty simple but its not bad. The power system surrounding everything doesn't seem that fleshed out but then again its not very late game, and the power system doesn't seem too bad and it reminds a bit of early WAO with martial artists and thaumaturgies. The thing that dissuades me from continuing to read is the characters. Many characters are introduced very quickly and I can't seem to remember a single one unless their 'niche' characteristic is mentioned. The characters all seem to be very flat, maybe that's just because its still at its relative start but I still can't help but find myself disinterested in the story. If it was just the side characters I could've endured as I do like the rest of the story but I also feel like the MC is also one dimensional and only when he interacts with his family does he become two dimensional. I don't ask for autonomous characters but if there is one character that should have some liveliness to it then it should be the MC but I just don't see it. That said its not like the novel is completely lacking, like mentioned before it does have a good foundation and if the characters gained some depth I'm sure this would be great.
