Cadmus I was in a very similar position when I got to Drangleic Castle. The single player isn't that strong imo, DS1 is much better in that respect. But you are in the right place to start doing some PVP like DramaticPopcorn said.
If fight clubs on the bridge are too much at this stage, you can still have a lot of fun by joining the Bellbro covenant there. If you clear a few enemies in Belfty Sol and hang around, you can get quite a lot of action. As well as being invaded and summoned by the Bellbros, you can lay your summon sign down, use cracked red eye orbs to invade players as a dark spirit, or get invaded by a red phantom yourself. So that's five different types of PVP all in the same place and right next door to a bonfire. You'll also get titanite chunks by defeating bellbros/trespassers so it can be pretty rewarding without much risk. Also the bellbros don't tend to be that good at PVP which makes them useful practise.
Another thing you can do to break up the monotony is lay your summon sign at the beginning of a map and go on your merry way. As well as breaking up the pace, having another human player can change how you play the level. It makes the combat less predictable. This is assuming you can still find players to play with. Your soul memory might be too high for where you're at. Either way, you should definitely try out the online play. It really does make the game a lot more enjoyable. I'd never played online with strangers before but I've found it quite addictive. If you have trouble connecting to other players, I'd even recommend rolling a new character and not grinding so much.
