The MP is my first drone ever. No issues. I've had one minor accident (at 40 cm above ground) hitting some bushes due to a) bad planning, b) forgetting to switch back to P-mode and c) hitting "left" when I should have hit "right". Cost: 1 propeller. Very Lucky. Since then I've been much choosier in my takeoff/landing spot and I've refined my "day before" checklist and site checklist somewhat.
You have to take this somewhat seriously to avoid crap that will kill the enjoyment of it. I do it for enjoyment and invest the time to protect that enjoyment.
Once you hit the "order" button, download the manual and print it. Grab your favourite colour highlighter[1] and read that thing 4 or 5 times cover to cover highlighting the stuff you feel you need to focus on. Download and install the app for your phone/tablet too.
Disclosure: I flew RC as a kid with my father and I'm a pilot and instructor (former days) - so that helps a lot. But if you read the manual, read all the posts here and elsewhere and watch the better YouTube videos (there are some doozy dumb ones, alas) then you'll be ready to take the first steps when the drone comes in (step 1: charge a battery and the RC).
And finally: be sure you know and understand the rules, regulations and laws where you are.
