This honestly not that bad even though I've tried to

I’m getting tired of reading this. The character development isn’t sufficient. Boruto is annoying and kind of selfish. Other characters are too comical in a clown ish way like Cho Cho. The plot lacks the same complexity as Naruto. It’s like they are just copy paste of superficial aspects of the original but in an inferior way.

The pairings are meh.

I have some mixed feelings about this one. The art style needs some work. It has very few shadows, which makes everything looks flat. Then, the setting has technology that the original series didn't have. This plays a significant part in the story and makes the whole thing feel almost like fan-fiction rather than an official spin-off.

Aside from that, I really don't have any other complaints. The story is pretty interesting, and the characters are pretty likable.

To me, it looks like a lot of the hate for this comes from people who did not like the romantic pairings from the end of the original series. However, I would argue that enough time passed in between the original series and this one that the characters could have had significant interactions with each other to develop the relationships we have, and that the authors just did not show us these. It's fine. There's nothing wrong with it. Maybe in the future we'll get some spin-offs to show how these characters ended up together?

Boruto is obnoxious and unlikable for a good bit of the beginning. I understand his reason for behaving that way, but I still don't agree with it by any means. He does get better with time, and is developing rather well, but I'm still not at the point where I can do more than tolerate him. The pacing is pretty good, and the overall story does not seem disjointed like the second half of Naruto, so that's an absolute plus. This series is honestly not bad at all, but it will definitely have to grow on me since I disliked Boruto in the beginning.

As far as the coupling goes, the two main couples have been obvious since the beginning, tbh. And I will not change my mind on that no matter what. Sasuke embraced Sakura in the first half of the series, and anyone who knows how big of a deal it is for a guy and a girl to hug in Japan, because that is seen as EXTREMELY intimate as kissing, would have understood all the implications behind that one gesture right then and there. Just read any old school samurai or romance novel or watch any old school Japanese samurai/rounin film. Hugging was generally the most romantic part of all those works. Also, when Hinata gave Naruto the confidence to fight Neji during the chuunin exam, plus knowing for certain that Sakura was never going to look at Naruto in romantic light halfway through Shippuden, I knew that there was a strong possibility for Naruto and Hinata to get together. I don't see how anyone could miss those things. Those two pairings have been pretty obvious for years. The others pairings work fine as well. Many of those were obvious, too.

I dont understand all the butthurt people about the pairings....who cares, read it a little and it does make sense...its not like kishimoto ever went into great detail about any of the characters personal life besides Naruto....i agree the art could be better but i think that will improve with time...I'm actually happy to see this because i always felt Naruto's youth was "rushed" and i wanted to see more of his school life, normal stuff like "actually" becoming a "chunin" and "jonin" in more detail. The normal life activities not rushed blow up war, gruesome, child to adult maturity. Naruto never enjoyed his childhood or daily ninja life it was rough and rushed, i only hope that maybe the slice of life, school life will be more emphasized in this manga.

The ending to Naruto was so bad. The end couples (aside from Shikamaru and Temari) didn't make sense and the one guy who should have died, didn't.

Now add this. A story about their kids who are just poor imitations of the original. It's bad. So bad.

What the hell with the drawiing?? Hinata & Sasuke they look shit and they are repeating the movie again as a manga chapters why wasting the time doing it and just move forward after the movie and it feels like that Boruto and this Kawaki will be the same version as Naurto & Sasuke and the fights and all that ... i really wished kishimoto to be the one drawing the manga instead of this current author i am kinda disappointed but i hope in the following chapters the author will improve in drawing the characters and the story turns out different than Naruto Vs. Sasuke Manga
