1. Its own ORIGINAL characters. So far the series has been piggybacking on what Kishimoto created years ago. Almost the entire 7 swordsmen are just the descendants of the previous holders(false, they just look like slightly different clones)(Ok, I'm just hating lol) when we KNOW that others can claim the swords from those fodders like Kisame did to get Samehada. How did that weakling Kiba even get that sword, let alone keep it, when she was defeated by a rookie? What are the odds that they encounter someone from Haku's clan? Every enemy so far has just been someone or something related to the original story despite how unlikely the odds are and there being an entire world of other shinobi.
2. Cut out the parallels. I don't know what it is with shounen and parallels. Boruto straight up says its his story, so why are we still seeing the same shit? Kara being like their Akatsuki, Kawaki being like Boruto's Sasuke(they're bound to become "rivals"), Sun and Moon, new team 7, heavy involvement from ino-shika-cho, the junk about following Naruto and Sasuke's paths, and all the threats so far have been things we've already seen in Naruto. Jesus, man.
