Doubt it, but don't take his blood if you want to finish his quest line.

No, I only say this because he made his request and then I talked to him immediately after and he gave me the reward as I had already completed the quest.

I usually go on a wild rampage running around in Hirata Estate starting from the bamboo idol. I grappling hook up to the left real quick and then dive into the water, swim over to the hidden purple ninja spot, and cheese him first for a solid 300+ skill points. If you don't know the cheese, you aggro him, then jump off the cliff into the water. Swim back past the bridge until the music stops, then go back real quick. When you get back up top lay low and sneak up to backstab him for an easy kill. This may not work perfectly at first, but do it a few times and it becomes natural. Then leap down past the shrine and slaughter all over the archers for easy kills.
I usually just go wild all over everything towards the beginning from there. Once you get the hang of it, you just go nuts and accumulate a bunch of coins/SP. Plus its stupid fun.

Ashina outskirts for early game, lots of easy backstabs. Hachima estates has an easy loop as well at second shrine. Later on though the fog forest and whistle rocks as you can just loop it blowing the whistle in zero danger. Enemies respawn without resting too.
Really though you should only grind to get that skill meter full then try to progress/kill a boss. NEVER fight a boss/go into new area with a bar above half.

this video is exactly where you're at
the guy in the video wastes some time at 0:55 though, he could have gotten back to the idol by simply going straight and jumping off
edit: not sure if it's because I had the sound suppression skills by this point but I didn't need to sneak up behind these guys to backstab them

Not just faster, but you can't just dodge for instance. You need to employ several different defensive movesets to be able to be successful.
It'd be like if to beat dark souls you needed to block, dodge, and parry in every fight or else you'd never win.

Thanks, I never did learn to parry properly in DS.
Will probably still give it a shot, being persistent while drunk has gotten me a long ways in life.

In terms of timing windows, Sekiro parries are like Dark Souls dodges, and Sekiro dodges are like Dark Souls parries.
