another question have you heard anything about the first boss not being on spawn island. cause it looks like it to me and i dont want to look up the map seed online cause that ruin the exploration

Every map is different and random... There is no mechanic in place that prevents bosses from being on the first main island, just as there is no mechanic in place that would ensure bosses ARE on the first main Island.

Iv'e seen seeds such as "Irongate" which starts the player on a VERY tiny island, isolated from everything aside from a few deer, boars and necks, and requires the player craft a raft to even reach the first boss across water too far to swim.
Iv'e aslo seen seeds where all the bosses (and merchant) are easily within running distance from the spawn point, including a troll cave within shooting distance from the spawn area..
