Last I checked... Monks still only need 300 XP to reach 2nd level. So if you as a Monk player can't even make it through a single session because you don't have enough "unique" stuff to do before reaching 2nd level... maybe you need to stop playing Monks that often if you grow bored of them that quickly.
So no class should have a unique identity from level 1, because the goal is to get out of level 1 as fast as possible?
No, that doesn't make sense. So why go on the attack about being bored and not even being able to make it through a single session? the point was simply to show that all that power budget that goes into unarmored defense and martial arts... other classes get through proficiency in weapons and armor, and then they get more abilities. The monk is being punished at level 1 for being a monk, because they feel like the option to not wear armor and not use weapons but be as good as the other level 1 classes using weapons and armor is something powerful.
