Explanation
This pattern uses an い-adjective in its く-stem form plus もなんともない to express that something is not at all ~ or not in the slightest. It emphasizes a strong negation, often contrasting with expectations or another situation. It can sound slightly emphatic or even ironic, depending on context.
