Having been a huge fan of the Naruto series for more than 10 years, I've started reading the boruto manga thinking it would be as good as the Boruto Movie which had some great moments.
It initially started good and the arcs after the movie arc were alright only with a downside of the new manga drawings which are considerably worse than Kishimoto's on Naruto Manga and the characters generally look fat and some people like Sasuke look straight up ugly.
But that aside, as more time passed and new arcs and the big villain (ish) appeared, the plot went into the classic path of ... "Make the old characters useless to make the new ones shine" and Naruto and Sasuke, the god tier shinobi, just weren't what they were anymore and kept fighting like genins. STILL I still continued reading to see what will happen hoping things change for the better, but they did for the worse.

*kinda spoilery*
The last chapter as of today (chp55) straight up contradicts some of the very basic knowledges in the Naruto verse like the inevitable fact of Jinchurikis dying with Bijuus extracted from them and honestly I could not bear it anymore to see this sequel (now more like spinoff honestly) show is setting up its own rules that don't match with what the whole Naruto plot had been founded on.
With Naruto and Sasuke's strongest powers officially gone, it's only a matter of time till the plot kills em for some "character development" of Boruto and/or Kawaki and I rather not see them die trash tier deaths in a sequel show. Not to mention they weren't that strong even with those powers in the boruto plot so now they will just look like some miserable third-grade shinobi which is not honestly any better than death (might be even worse).
*end of semi spoilers*

SO that was the reason I have dropped the boruto manga after 55 chapters (which is approx. half of it apparently) and I really do not recommend this to the Naruto fans who actually care about the characters and the built up stories so far because this sequel has no fear of ignoring them whatsoever and sacrifice them whenever it sees fit. Trust me when I say Naruto chapter 700 is the true ending of the Naruto verse (with Naruto Gaiden + Boruto movie being some actually decent epilogues).

TLDR;
Boruto's approach to Naruto-verse is like the Disney Star Wars trilogy to the old ones and the SW lore. (you can search on youtube how Mark Hamil (aka Luke Skywalker) thinks about them lol)
