the absolute magnetism of Goku as a character needed such an interesting world to even try and compete, and even with that Goku still steals the show. Honestly kinda nailed the tone of the original Journey to the West. It really is a fascinating story about an actual historical journey...aaaand it's completely overtaken by the sheer insanity of Sun Wukong, nominally a side character, who just kinda steals the whole show, and the author is gleefully only just barely holding him back for plot purposes
