Completely the wrong shape. Bottom bracket between the wheels instead of in front of the front axle, seat has no back support, aerodynamics are rubbish, handlebars all wrong.

Brand, price, and what derailleur is it running?
Looks ok, but try and get a ride as all bikes have different geometry and you need a bike which is comfortable for you.
Going by the non-carbon forks it should be reasonably priced. If you are looking for it as a commuter does it have rack and mudguard mounts?

Riding hills? Doesn’t have a lot of gear range with only single chainring and not a large rear cassette.
It’s a budget bike and there are better options but it depends on your use case and budget. If you give us a bit of background info it will get you a better answer.

At least it's got eyelets for mudguards and racks. Mostly sensible geometry and what look like reasonably wide tyres (but g'damn it's hard to tell from one photo)

Not something I'd be interested in.
