Is the Dragon Ball Franchise now less about awesome story telling and just about hey there's the new enemy go fight him?

I believe Dragonball Z was very narrative focused compared to Super.

Super felt more like a part that explored and introduced the World Building of the Series like never seen before.

But I do somewhat agree with you, part of Super, especially stuff like the U7 vs U6 Arc made it feel very much like a "Let's Fight cuz you're strong" type of thing.

The Manga did fix a lot of issues the anime had, such as the Goku Black Arc. To this day it's still my favourite iteration of the Arc.
