Complicated stuff will always be complicated. The .NET ecosystem is huge, there are a lot of different frameworks associated to any kind of problem. Xamarin for mobile; EF 6, EF Core, ADO.NET for databases, and so on. But as a beginner you shouldn't try to understand it all, right from the beginning. Just start somewehre. It's like saying: "Biking is too complicated, there are so many different kind of bikes, who should know what to buy!" Just get the first best bike / framework (e.g. console app, or asp.net core) somebody recommends you and go with that until you know better. After a while you will understand the difference between a mountain bike and a downhill bike, or between EF 6 and EF Core.
