Yes, the initial coat of paint frequently looks bad since there may be spotty spots or roller markings visible. This occurs if the wall was not adequately primed or if this step was completely omitted. I came to know about this when I asked does the first coat of paint always look bad to my painter. He also said that having only the first coat can make the finish look uneven.

How can You Fix Uneven Paint?
Here is the process I learned from my professional painter.
You must apply a primer to the area you want to paint.
Once the primer dries, you can begin your first coat of paint.
Allow it to dry, apply the paint again. The first coat may not completely cover the surface, so the second coat will add more pigment. It will make the color look richer and more even.
The second coat also helps to cover any areas you missed with the first coat, like streaks or patches. It ensures a smooth, consistent finish. I hope this will help you.
