Boruto doesn't need to surpass Naruto and Sasuke for him to have a compelling story.

Absorbing OP jutsus doesn't mean things are even, the opponent can still have greater speed/power. But even absorbing jutsu isn't that original, since it's been a thing since the Preta Path.

Boruto doesn't have a Curse Seal.

What was I expecting? A more grounded story of Shinobi and how they move into the future. Kawaki said that he'd end Shinobi. Why? That could be intriguing, like why does he feel the system is flawed?

Sure, they had those power-ups, but that's fine. Maybe it's a technique they learned together but now have to fight each other.

I certainly didn't expect the Karma mark to make Boruto stronger than Boro of all people (who remember, is stronger than Delta and is in some ways worse than Jigen apparently).

I didn't expect them to think "Oh to make this series interesting, we have to hand the protagonist a ridiculous power-up that already shoves his power to levels that as of right now look like they at least rival Naruto and Sasuke
