It's certainly an interesting build, though I don't know if it's "optimal", or if it fits with the playstyle that I think you're looking for. I don't know if he's a glass cannon, but he's certainly a little different than the barbarians I've seen in 5E so far. I'd say that since this is likely a one off campaign for you, and because you're concerned about enjoying the game, I wouldn't build for the future levels. I'd build the character you'd most like to play right now. Pick the best options that suit you at level 1. If you find yourself bored with the character, then you're not going to make it to level 4 or 8, so why build with those levels in mind? It's never bad to plan ahead a bit, but in this case given your concerns, I'd try to make sure you had the most fun character possible now. Other than that, I am not sure what can help you enjoy the game, really. I'll reiterate my earlier comments about trying something you normally wouldn't and maybe playing the character a little differently, but in a way that still complements what you dig about the game.Perhaps a martial type with a death wish, who just charges into battle with very little caution. Such a tactic would likely be deemed "suboptimal" but they can be a lot of fun. Or maybe a follower of the God of Luck, who simply does not believe that his God will let him down. A slight change like that may make up for the lack of mechanical options the game has for you.</blockquote>
