Like with the other stories in the “noahverse” a lot of character development happens off page. Things jump forward so quickly and that leaves much to be desired. The topics covered and the tropes used in the “noahverse” are all recycled quite a bit. The punk/rock friend who has a friend that hates that music. The nerdiness, especially marvel and Star Trek. The over use of the f slur both by bullies and the characters towards themselves. 
Write what you know, but the repetitive nature of it is a bit much.
