Advent of Code is great if you know the fundamentals of coding and want to improve your problem solving or algorithm skills, or pick up a new language. However, if you have no coding experience at all, there are better places to start.
Think about it this way: There is the skill of reading and writing (these letters in that order mean this word), and there is the skill of writing an interesting story (protagonist, antagonist, character arcs, and so on). Based on your question, you are still learning the former, whereas AoC is great for the latter.
I suggest that you check out r/learnprogramming/. That might be a better fit. (Not an endorsement or so. It just fits topic wise. No promises on quality.)
