mundaneness
Lack of excitement
Mundaneness is the quality of being ordinary, routine, or lacking excitement.
It describes the unremarkable nature of everyday life—the opposite of the extraordinary or transcendent: The mundaneness of office work wore him down.
The word carries a slightly weary tone, suggesting tedium rather than simple ordinariness.
