Dude, most of their stuff is budget gear. And second, they aren't any worse than other low budget gear of 'brand' names. I've bought a whole lot of fishing gear within the last 5 years. You get what you pay for, and with brand names, you pay extra for their names. Example, I bought a pflueger 'entry level baitcast reel for $50. It was total garbage. It was worse than unknown brand or even kastking costing less than half. Why? Side plate wouldn't close back up because there was a piece of defect, the level wind was completely plastic, and magnetic breaks were so weak they didn't make much of a difference.
I'm not a huge fan of kastking for various reasons, but to go into posts just to say that they're junk with no other info makes your post pointless and no one cares.
This will be fine for the average person who fishes here and there, so long as they understand this is intended for FW bass fishing. Don't take it out to try and catch a Tarpon.

This junk was able to reel in two texas bull reds, no problem. 😀
Left retrieve is better for righties anyways.
Don't have to swap hands.
I never lost fish. Only because my casted lures snapped off mid flight as the reel(s) locked up. I lost a few high dollar lures on multiple Krap King reels and said never again. I also had their Conventional round reel.. Couldn't get the drag to tighten over 3 lbs. Lol. I called their tech guy and even he admitted their reels have issues. Save yourselves hassle and just buy a Daiwa, Shimano, Abu, Lew's, Bass Pro - Pro Qualifier. You'll save in the end. Trust me.
Most of the guys I fish with reel with their left as I do. This is one of the reasons I give when I get annoyed someone has changed one of my rods to the other side! Plus why not fight a fish with your dominate hand?
I agree to a point. My spinning rods I use left retrieve. Baitcasters I like to palm so regardless I have to switch the rod around. That's why I stick with right hand retrieves.
