would like your opinion at least for this hated chapter:

Sure! I didn't comment on that earlier because I just agreed.
I mentioned in my post there I still think the chapter held up dramatically regardless of the anti-climatic SSJ transformation (as someone who came from the anime), and I believe you're correct that Toriyama's focus was more on creating a captivating emotional rollercoaster rather than a cool transformation within the 20 or so page timeframe.
Don't blame anyone for being disappointed coming from the anime though. lol i don't blame, i just see the manga version of dragon ball holding different approach to the story than the anime. where the manga had clever fight scenario building (at most times at least) the anime made too much violence to make those blend away. where the manga had small epic reaction, the anime made it much tense, and that's also the super sayajin example. and while i refer anime, i mostly refer DBK, the DBZ anime isn't much worthy to compare the anime to the manga lol, too much filler. even in the DBK version there's still fillers that ruins the manga ideas. like goku vs vegeta on the going-to-be-exploded namek planet, the manga kept the super sayan power up on without failing, DBK ruined it by goku struggling frieza. pointless to say in DBZ it was much worser. (was it like for damn 4-7 episodes?)
where the anime is actually doing great justice to the manga i actually goes and say that the anime was better, like here:
