The first part can be a bit rough with the hyrdra since it's fairly strong compared to the bats. As for the Dragon Princess, if I remember correctly you can just change to Kobold Princess to make it easier. She can spam hits quite a bit faster compared to the MC and is a good source of damage for the majority of the game. The only downside to note is that the candle is sort of a double edged sword. If she dies with the candle equipped the MC also dies (and vise versa) which can lead to immediate game overs and headache if you don't save often.Soooo, I've never played this game until now, but it left bad impression on me and...yea I gotta say that somewhere.
1st time I went without skipping intro. Without any given controls I got to princess at which I struggled to figure out, how to remove letters when naming a character. I obtained a candle and equipped it to the princess. Once I hit the dungeon part combat was...ok. But then I faced the dragon which took me out in mear 2 hits on normal difficulty to which I'm like "oooook, maybe I do need to deal with intimidating 3 headed blue snake first?"...which I couldn't. Even when utilizing guard, it is not efficient enough. After about 6 deaths at INTRO LEVEL, I've decided to try out easy mode (which I hate to pick in any games). I maneged to kill blue snake to obtain new weapon, but even with that dragon was able to finish me in 3-4 hits in once again about 6 attempts. Can't even grind anywhere (at least not obviously) since I killed everything before that dragon.
Still didn't gave up on game at that point but considered "maybe intro was added or is still not fleshed out well, so I will try to simply skip intro". I picked what items I got and landed in middle of a map. Thankfully objective arrow (?) showed the way. Was able to clear "Lust princess" (or something like that) quest and wanted to do the other lvl 0 which needed me to gather ingredients. Where can I get them? It just stated "in wild". In about 1 hr I still couldn't find the area which quest wanted me to get ingredients from. And I've visited plenty which normal person would consider correct. Farm and village with 3 houses seemed perfect, but nope. If quest can't tell specifically where something is on a map which has about 10 areas already available...that's not good.
Ended up quitting the game after exploring about 4 more areas and failing to even kill 1 bandit on easy mode.
Since I haven't played the game more than 2 hrs, I can't judge a book by its cover all too much, but after such time you usually get the gist if you enjoy the game or not and if it's playable or not. To me, it wasn't "beginner" friendly. If you are unable to pass first boss on easy mode after numerous attempts, clearly it's not easy mode. Even if I missed something.
As for the gather beginner quest... Yeah that one causes a lot of issues to beginners since it's a bit RNG. You can get objectives to get items on the top part of the map or you can get items needing you to go to the bottom part (which requires a decent amount of travel which you probably wouldn't know to go to as a beginner).
The game is meant for open exploration and learning stuff yourself (or using a wiki/guide/forum) so I really would say this game is meant more for those looking for a challenge.
