What do you mean by that? How is Boruto the main problem?

Just as Areeb.hasan said, but not only. The point is, they are giving Boruto too much... importance? I mean yeah, he is the main character, but it seems (both in the anime and manga) that no one of the other characters can do anything without Boruto. I won't spoil anything of the manga, since not all of us read it, but take what happened in this episode: Boruto was out in almost all of this, and the other - even Shikadai - waited he woke up not only to take any kind of action but also to choose what to do.

Try to imagine this is the arc with the sound four: Naruto, Sakura, Shikamaru, Choji and Ino reached Sasuke, and he attacked Naruto, knocked him out and went away with the sound four. Can you imagine Shikamaru saying "let's just wait Naruto to wake up and ask him if he's ok with our decision"? In all honesty, I can't.

That's the main problem in this series, for me: it revolves too much around Boruto, like he's the only actual character and all the others are just NPCs.

There were obviously situations like this also in Naruto (I'm thinking, for example, at Iruka having him escape from the "secured zone" during the war), but here I have the impression that is always> like that
