A textobook example of a good idea with a bad execution. Boruto anime had a good idea, let the manga go ahead and focus on the main plot, while the anime stays behind and focus on side plots as well as improvements to the main plot.
So what went wrong? Well... it's an anime with nearly 300 episodes which less than 100 are actually worth watching. Lots of episodes have a children's cartoon script (character in focus has a problem, a bigger problem show up, character overcomes their problem which lets them overcome the bigger problem, everyone's happy, character development?)
That's not to say it's all bad. The parts adapted from the manga are good, and there are some good original arcs (time travel arc, Kawaki in the ninja academy arc, and the Nue arc at the beggining of the anime are some examples that come to mind), but again, nearly 300 episodes with less than 100 actually worth watching.
I would recomend you check the manga if you want to get into Boruto, but if you insist on the anime then get some kind of episode list so you can go skipping. I watched all the episodes as they aired and considered giving up many times, the only thing that made me stay was the knowledge that the anime is the "canon" version, so do yourself a favor and just watch what you must.
