The story of "King of Bali" is criticized for being exceptionally short and lacking depth, primarily revolving around the protagonist, Billy, attempting to revive his music career while engaging with various women during a brief holiday in Bali. Many reviewers noted that the narrative is simplistic and largely serves as a vehicle for adult content, with decision points that feel inconsequential and do not significantly impact the storyline. Overall, the writing is deemed weak, with stereotypical characters and a lack of engaging plot development.
- “King of Bali tells the story of Billy Bega, an aging one-hit-wonder who was last popular in 2007, trying in 2017 to revitalize his act and break back into the music scene.”
- “The story begins with Elaine, his long-term manager, telling him he's been passed over for Coolio (of 'Gangsta's Paradise' fame) at his upcoming gig, but she's found him a replacement: the grand opening of the Bali Paradise Hotel in Indonesia.”
- “The story revolves around you trying to make a comeback in your career since the publicity you once had is dying.”
