Interesting first chapter. You fleshed out your main character, who he is, where he is and what he want's in life.
You made his sympathetic and relatable. I'm really rooting for him.
Your style was clean and your choice of words was complex enough to invoke feelings without being to overtly thesaurus'd.
It's hard to tell from just the first chapter what kind of Genre Novel this is: Real World Fantasy, Isekai or Magic based.
But if it has a Main Character that's either intelligent/conniving, has an OP system or has satisfying Face-slaps I'm all in!
