jejuneness
Lack of substance
Jejuneness is the quality of being jejune—dull, uninteresting, or lacking substance.
The word typically describes intellectual or creative work that feels thin or unsatisfying: the jejuneness of his arguments, critics noted the jejuneness of the sequel.
It can also suggest a naive or simplistic quality, as if the work hasn't matured beyond superficial understanding.
