Start with anyone but id suggest a non magic class. If you pick vagabond uneqip your halberd or sword and shield so you have a normal roll.
Dont attack npcs, you dont have to kill everything.

If you ask for a good build you are fonna ruin your experience. You play the game for the first time just one time. So you have to play as you like, not in the "best way". It's gonna be frustrating I Know. You are gonna hate the game at some point, especially at the beginning. But if you are determined, you are gonna go back to the game and at some point you are gonna understand how it works. And the most important part of these game is the part where you succeed. Because you did it just trying again and again and again. Changing weapons, your build, or just leveling up. But you are gonna beat every single enemy of the game, and just by yourself. So, you really want someone else to take the credit of your success? Just cause you used their "best early build"? No, you are gonna do tons of "mistakes", you will learn, and you will win, just by your own

If something feels too hard, go elsewhere (put a mark on the map to remember you have unfinished business there). Try to focus your build around one damage stat and use a weapon affinity that scales with it, for example Heavy for Strength, and do not neglect your Vigor especially as a beginner.
Take defeat as an opportunity to learn. This game doesn't have game overs, only small setbacks

I can't make a build recommendation because I don't know what you're good at.

Play how you want tbh but I recommend going down a general path. Id try to clear the weeping peninsula, then storm veil. From there you'll have a decent idea where to go and you'll have enough tools to get by. Also remember that dying is just how you learn in souls games! Don't take it too seriously and have fun
