The journey to 2nd level (and to a lesser extent 3rd) is intentionally much shorter and easier than the journey to higher levels.You're objecting to a fundamental trait of 5E. You're not going to find any L1-3 adventure or setting which satisfies you on that basis.You say "Is it normal now"? Dude, it was normal in 2014, over a decade ago. It's never been otherwise in 5E. Unless you played in a game with serious house rules about low-level XP, you've never played a 5E campaign which was any different.Levels don't make sense with that approach at all. Only a skill-based system or similar is ever going to make sense with that attitude - Heroquest I think would serve you a thousand, thousand times better than D&D if that's genuinely how you feel about the PCs.</blockquote>
