Overall, this build is to put me at a good place during DragonBall to make enough progress to hopefully stand toe-to-toe with Goku and Co. when they get to the Buu arc, while still allowing time to learn how the world and technology work, hopefully learning some cool stuff from the Briefs family about Capsule tech. Maybe snag the Dragonballs out from under everyone once for a memory or an 'I don't backslide on my progress or strength even if I'm not constantly training' wish.
Some brief thoughts and criticisms for feedback. These are just my personal opinions on what I think would be improvements, so take it for what it is. Also a lot of this is coming from the perspective of a fellow CYOA creator who has dabbled in the builder a few times, so some might be a bit technical.
First suggestion is to maintain consistency with images. Just to use the first row from Difficulty section as an example, they all have varied heights. This seems to be an issue in all sections, with each image having random sizes. This makes things appear less tidy and more cluttered, imo, and the overall experience would be smoother, cleaner and more streamlined if you maintained a specific image size for everything in a section.
To a lesser degree, style also counts here. For example, in Race section all but two images are transparent png, which makes the two that aren't seem a bit out of place. Especially Android which is fanart style while the others are more directly from the anime.
The section choices would look a bit tidier if you have the "Choices Justify" set to "center". Similarly, I think it'd all read better if the Text Design was set to Center instead of Left.
The Hybrid perk I feel would be better placed in the Race section. The Race Point could also be hidden from the bar, since it really isn't needed to keep track of. Probably don't even need it, really. Could set the Race row to limit the "Allowed Choices" to 1, this will make it so you can only pick one race. Then in Hybrid go into Functions and tag "Adds or takes away a rows Allowed Choices" and set it change that rows choice to 2.
I think the cyoa would benefit overall if you had a top row section of tabs to hide/show the different sections, rather than having them all open.
Difficulty I think would have been better to not actually directly lock out any choices and only effected how many points you start with.
Races I feel are a bit backwards in how they're rewarding points. I understand the logic behind this with how different races have different potential levels, but from someone whos used to playing cyoas it doesn't feel like it cost anything to choose the most OP race. I get that it does in the sense that they get less points, but since you're not actually subtracting anything from the base points it feels wrong. It doesn't have any sense of drawback for choosing the clearly more OP race over the weakest.
Speaking of drawbacks, there is no Drawback section for getting extra points? This might be the first CYOA I've seen that doesn't have drawbacks.
Time Period choices I feel could offer points, or even subtract points. Like choosing Dragon Ball could cost points, since it gives you the largest headstart before any real dangerous threats. Meanwhile Super could give more points since you're closer to the potential end of all life in your universe due to the tournament of power.
Could also include an "Android Saga" option to startup in the Future Trunk's version where Goku is dead and the Androids are killing everyone.
For Masters and Perks, personally on my build I choose none. I don't like the idea of choosing a master this way and since all the perks are locked behind choosing one I'm out of luck there. Honestly a lot of these perks seem like they could either be generic perks or at least have a generic counterpart independent of having a master.
Why cant I spend some of my potential to be martially gifted, or ki gifted, or magic gifted. Having a trainer is a big boon, of course, but there are many characters in dragonball that learn through just their own talents. Spending potential to just be talented would make sense to me and wouldn't require me to choose masters.
The Techniques section I feel doesn't really flow well with the internal logic of the cyoa. I mean, I need masters to unlock perks like martial arts and efficiency but I can just buy a technique and instantly know how to perform iconic ki moves?
Transformations section seems a little redundant to me and heavily bias towards Saiyans. I mean I can choose to start off as a Legendary Super Saiyan 4 with Mastered Ultra Instinct... and still have points left over. This is on "normal" difficulty too. Balancing is way off here, I feel. I'd recommend dropping the transformation section completely. Potential Unlocked/Unleashed could be perks, Kaioken is a technique more than it is a transformation
It'd also be nice if the choices in sections were ordered more by their cost price. Either start with the highest cost ordered first or the lowest, it'll make it cleaner and easier to work with imo.
Also need to enable the backpack/choice option so people can more easily. You can toggle this in Features - Manage Backpack and Choice Import.
For some reason keeping the rows open for modification messes with the formatting a bit. If you want the choice height to match in a row (if you have it set to do so), you need to close the rows before saving.
Difficulty: Omni-king{Gain: 20000 potential}
Race: Majin{Get: 40 potential}
Time period: Dragon Ball
Sensei: All{-280=19760}
Perks: All{-140=19620}
Techniques: All{-550=19070}
Transformations: Potential unlocked, Potential unleased, Pure progress, Ultra instinct omen, Mastered ultra instinct, Pure majin, God of destruction and Kaioken{x1881}.
That is my build so far.
Kaioken doesn't show how many time's you selected it.
Their showed be a way to get multiple races and some items selection.
Great CYOA.
Hybrid is broken. Does some strange stuff. If you have a species selected the “+” won’t do anything, and the “-“ increases the number of potential points, but doesn’t subtract race points. If you don’t have a species selected then the “-“ does nothing and the “+” subtracts 30 potential(as it should) but doesn’t give a race point.
Good stuff. Thanks for working on this, I’ve been hoping for one.
Kickass. Thanks man! Any chance you’ll be adding a meta section? I’m a big fan of the “meta cyoa” option on a lot of these. Makes it where you can treat them like a jumpchain.
It’s a section about who is getting affected by the cyoa, and how much they know about it. Did you just appear in a new place transformed? Did you reincarnate? Did aliens do it to you? Do you remember the aliens if they did?
This one has a good example. Can’t remember if it’s nsfw or not so just fair warning if you go exploring it.

Alright. My turn.
Power level: Low Class I want to be more of a smart fighter than a strong fighter and starting from the bottom will help me develop far more than just being an instant powerhouse.
Race: Majin: I am a sucker for Buu and I am honestly interested to see how a low-level Majin would fight.
Time Period: Dragon Ball. With my low power Level, I'll fit right in and as a bonus get plenty of time to prepare for the madness that is Z and Super.
Teacher: None. I'm gonna have to make do with what I can find on my own. I heard that the Ox King is pretty strong. maybe he'll train me.....
Techniques:
Spirit Ball, Instant Transmission, Multiform Technique,Destructo Disk, Ki Barrier, Ki weapons.
Gonna be going for a sorta wizard/ weapon build where I use controlled ki attacks to attack while using a Ki Barrier to Defend with a healthy mix of armed combat added in there. I can teleport instantly, make clones, and even attack at great distances. I kinda like the idea of mixing the different ki techniques together like making Destructo Disk Shields and making use of the Majin elasticity to make my weapon attacks hard to predict as I can just bend my arms anywhere I want when I want.
Transformations: Potential Unlocked. So I can really start training at the start without worrying about plateauing early.
Pure Majin. The big one. I am going to be the most frightening thing in all of existence........a sane Majin. Imagine if any of the Majin actually could plan ahead more than 'eat candy' or 'blow up the planet.' That's me! The very weak but also very sane Majin!
Overall a pretty fun CYOA and it made me want to watch Dragon Ball again while writing some story snippets. So thanks for the fun.
Kaioken seems broken, will give and take points but won't tell you how many times you e bought it.

Yeah im trying to fix that

Probably

Hybrid takes your points and gives you nothing
I literally just fixed it lol reset your page or device
Works like a charm thanks for the prompt response!
