  The review notes: "With Taiwanese comics starting to trickle onto North American bookshelves, the breakthrough work could be one that has all the elements of the biggest manga hits. An irreverent young hero with an unlikely gift? Check. A seemingly unattainable quest? Check. An outlandish concept and wild humor? ... When Shautieh gets pumped up, he doesn't just start emanating speedlines—he literally turns into an Eva, or Kenshin, or Batman, for crying out loud! Visual gags like that are part of the series' comedic lifeblood, along with acerbic put-downs and madcap facial expressions. If anyone could harness the energy of Bowling King, we'd have renewable power for the next several centuries. With the first major arc just underway by the end of the volume, most readers will be clamoring for the next one right away."

  The article notes: "以保齡球為題材的運動漫畫《滾球王》於1997年在《新少年快報》連載，還曾在日本、韓國刊載過。由於當年台灣正盛行打保齡球，加上漫畫本身有熱血的劇情，風格也相當幽默搞笑，在台灣有不小的人氣。消息一公布後，許多書迷也曬出自己的收藏，希望老師能夠盡快補完後續。"
  From Google Translate: "The bowling-themed sports manga "Bowling King" was serialized in New Youth Express in 1997, and has also been published in Japan and South Korea. Because bowling was popular in Taiwan at that time, and the comics themselves had a bloody plot, and the style was quite humorous, it was quite popular in Taiwan. As soon as the news was announced, many book fans also posted their collections, hoping that the teacher could complete the follow-up as soon as possible."

There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Bowling King (traditional Chinese: 滾球王; simplified Chinese: 滚球王) to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".
