I don't think your stock selection is fundamentally wrong. Of course, it will take a while until you start receiving significant dividends and, depending on your investment horizon, a growth strategy would probably be more sensible, but certainly not bad as a just-for-fun portfolio.

Personally, I only invest via a savings plan in shares that are "always too expensive" or where it is difficult to get started, but I want to be involved.

It's different with ETFs, where I mostly use savings plans.

In the case of individual shares, I use individual purchases 90% of the time; although this only makes sense for larger sums of money, of course, in order to put the personal time spent on research/analysis into a sensible relationship.

@KevinE Thanks for your input Kevin. I am also considering whether I would like to proceed in a more targeted manner with individual purchases in this portfolio. Whereby the fees would play a role in the sum.

If you had invested EUR 144 per month in $TDIV, things would probably look much better now and you would only see "green".
It's my best dividend ETF.

@Thomas_1963 In this portfolio, I deliberately invest in individual stocks and not ETFs😁
