Would like some more examples here, but I assume you mean with the constant using of missions and training. However, I personally don't agree with this. I think I only show one mission in detail, and two or three (limitted) training excersizes. Again, I'd like more clarification on this part, thanks.
 * After the first mission, the story becomes lacking and monotonous

Cool. He's supposed to be. As you note, neither Ledas nor Prince Vegeta hold him in high regards. Also, you'll notice that King Vegeta gets "pissed off" by him too. But overall, his personality is supposed to be annoying.
 * Nappa's just kind of annoying

This is completely done on purpose. He is not the focus of PVS, though he does begin to start the images of himself. You'll notice that he only really serves a minor role because you only have read the first saga. I won't say too much more on the subject, but he gets a little bit more air time in Lauto saga and maybe more beyond. Also, you should read Outbreak: Paved In Blood (The Forgotten Special), as that is the story of his childhood. Were It So Easy (Legacies Episode) is also (I think) a clever little story on why Frieza never conquered Earth. Please read those to get a better idea of where his character is going in the future.
 * Benefactor appearances are limited

We've gone over this on the chatango, and I don't think I'll get too longwinded again. But basically, I don't think this is the case at all. He's is never the strongest (not once throughout the story is he ever the strongest character), he's not liked by everyone (it's about 40/60 in terms of likes/dislikes of him by other characters), and he never does things outside the realms of reality. I also think that test I took yesterday was bogus too, as it didn't take into account the universe being inherently different from the "normal" universe.
 * Ledas is a minor Gary-Stu.

Again, it's the same as what happened to Nappa and Vegeta. Frieza wanted Vegeta and Ledas alive (as explained on the questions page, Nappa's survival is mere accident). Ledas was only different in that he was delayed from take off due to a falty pod. This causes him to get "pushed" off course by shockwave of the planet's destruction, and also shows why he isn't with Vegeta later, when the saiyans go to earth in Z. By being pushed off course, this also sets up him landing on Planet Cooler 92, and bringing on the events of the Lauto Saga. So I don't think that there was too much luck here, over that of which Nappa or Vegeta (or even Goku) experienced at this time. But I hope my explanation was a little better than that of Raditz'.
 * Ledas gets way too lucky at the end.

The Saiyan revolt can be seen in its entirety in the Bardock Special. It would be boring for me to merely repeat it. If you notice parts of King Vegeta's speech are taken directly from that specical. But I don't use all of it. Because, otherwise, this "revolt" is supposed to be from Layeeck's perspective, and show his limitted and "numb" view of things.
 * The Saiyan revolt against Frieza felt very lacking

Fair point.
 * Infrequently confuse homophones

Of course, I'd much appreciate a counter response, perhaps to discuss this. But thanks for the review... I do appreciate you reading it. Oh and if you think so lowly of PVS, I doubt you'll like Lauto, heh. -KidVegeta
