The novel is pretty good in my opinion as someone who has never watched Dragon Ball. However, what ruins this novels is the protagonists low IQ. Doing stuff like "killing" an opponent and not double checking whether they have truly died, saying his opponent a secret before their "death", or letting enemy minions escape because they are "insignificant".

For a native antagonist okay, but as he is a reincarnated protagonist he is truly ret*rded.

Honestly not sure why this has so many one star reviews. It's been an interesting and honestly fairly unique (for the genre) approach and exploration of the DB Universe, with the Main Character not abandoning those around him for his own power, but honestly working to improve their conditions and abilities as well. I've only read two or three others with a MC of that mindset. The 'King of the Saiyans' in the title is still relevant all these chapters in, and the Saiyans have grown immensely due to his... more>> actions, and his own strength hasn't gone completely off the rails, still with canon and mortal scope. He has interesting challenges without feeling like asspulls to justify them, and while we still expect him to succeed, it's not a three paragraph handwave. <<less
