Is that a normal film look or could it get better?

Attempted to self scan my first roll of film. The light is not 100% even as I used a diffused flash.
I used a Minolta SRT 101 and an MC Rokkor 55 f/1.7 lens with a Fuji 100 film.
Overexposed all shots by 2/3-1 stop and edited the RAW on Lightroom, taken by a macro lens on a DSLR.

White balance is off and you gotta add a ton of contrast.

I chose it to be more towards yellow, but I'll try to scan it again with a different method

Click on the white balance tool and set it to be the side of the strip, then invert it. Recommend using some tool to do the process though. People online like negative lab pro but that adds boomer saturation and high contrast to every photo. Can be toned down to look decent though, but I'm sticking with nikon scan results usually.

Well, I tried again but it seems the lens is soft. So I guess this is the look I'll get.

What lens are you using? Do you remember your aperture setting?

Is the film expired? It looks severely underexposed, maybe you simply adjusted the settings in the wrong direction?
This has nothing to do with the lens or softness, the exposure is fucked, here's a review article for that Rokkkor with sample images: https://thenoisyshutter.com/2023/08/07/legacy-lens-review-minolta-mc-rokkor-pf-55mm-f1-7/

I honestly think you'd save yourself a lot of trouble getting a half decent dedicated film scanner.
These scans look really bad OP.
