The story isn't bad but not that great either. A lot of things seem to change depending on the convenience of the author which brings down the story massively. The mc was stated to easily crush both chubby samurai and the king guy. However, when it got to the martial arts tournament they suddenly get a massive power-up so that author can acc write about the tournament... If the mc didn't use any ki throughout the whole tournament this would have been much more interesting. By constantly using it to win all his fights made it extremely dull and boring... This is a trend that follows throughout the story so yeah. Then there is the massive copout of having a weaker body than everyone else but with massive ki reserves. This NEEDS to be fixed. It's just so stupid, anyone even normal adults of dragon ball verse can one-shot him if he isn't shielding himself constantly. It's kind of a joke taken to far and has been constantly used as a plot device of why he cannot do certain things. It just rly brings down the quality of the story even further than before. ki as a whole strengthens the body no? It's like a modifier on the base stats? Not rly sure. But surely it doesn't make sense that if the mc has that much ki his body has to be a certain strength? The story is a bit slow as well but I guess you can't rly do much until the start of canon. Would have been nice to see more in-depth training on ki. Like the way, he trains it. How to make it grow, what if he makes it as a whole denser etc. The changes it has on his body when it does grow, get denser more powerful etc. I like that he isn't op as they get boring real fast. Just as long as he can keep up and carry himself it would be interesting. Like you have the whole precise style going on so maybe he can focus on atking nerves, weak points etc. Maybe use the huuga? Style of bypassing amour and atking inside the body. So organs etc if that makes sense? Just more creativity tbh cause so far it is very lacklustre. I mean all he has done in the story so far is growing up on a farm and do the general bodybuilding training, lifting rocks etc to then train in martial arts from a minor character to fight in the tournament who's only opponents he faced properly without that ki ball were his friends who he bought with him... like what tf was the point? So yeah up to the author, in the end, these are just my opinions from reading the 27 chapters out and if fixed etc I think this could be ten times better.

True, but they also said that his 'master' had been holding back to catch him off guard in the tournament. And with most fights he was trying to make his power equal to the one he was fighting so that the fight wouldn't just end in seconds...
