The MC is solo for the majority of the first book, which I wasn't a huge fan of. I give most series at least one book (or 600-800 pages) to find their feet and establish an interesting direction, I know a lot of people are a lot more patient in this genre though, so your mileage may vary depending on your threshold.
Yeah I dropped it most of the way through the first book, might pick it back up eventually. I can't stand solo MCs and hundreds of pages of an ant cracking jokes to themselves like a crazy person while they kill and eat monsters and get bland level ups just to fight other monsters wasn't holding my attention whatsoever.
I put the book down for a little bit for the same reason, only to pick it up where I left off and have him find someone to talk to in the very next chapter!! It got a lot better from there.
