Tried modded minecraft, got completely overwhelmed

So a few days ago, I decided to play FTB Architect's Exodus with friends, and this was effectively my first modded mc experience. However, I kinda got burnt out very quickly because I got overwhelmed by the quests and the fact that I was unable to progress quickly while they were much faster.

I really think this sorta modded mc is interesting, but due to my lack of familiarity with the mods, I got overwhelmed and extremely confused very quickly. Do you all have a recommendation for a good modpack I can start with to get into modded mc that isn't too hard to learn but still gives me the basics of the major modpacks like allthemods 10 or ftb stuff so that I can get into this without quickly getting confused?
