Bela ending and import was a bad idea.

So reward for sparing Rebecca and picking hardest lock in the game is the Diamond Ring, extra starting GP, but you have to walk a very long route infested with harder enemies?
Wish I'd know that before (but probably I'd still take it for the challenge).

Yeah, it's pretty ridiculous, I'm on the verge of completely quitting the game due to the frequent bs encounters(in town no less!).

Eh... I've read that "bad" route and killing Bela in 6 leads to being dropped near NYCTALINTH of all things. Sounds tougher, but you have to beat 3 extra bosses in that route so it's understandable.

The worst stuff awaits post boat part anyway.

Both the beginnings of Wiz7 where you start either in Nyctalinth or in Ukpyr - you dont need to walk a long distance to get to the "normal" starting position. In both those beginnings you can use the teleporters to New City.
