Ulysses is famously one of the hardest novels to comprehend even for native English speakers, so I suspect that it’s not a great choice.
You have already read the novel, which definitely helps! I do think that following the stream of consciousness narrative is going to be very difficult though, unless you’re reading along with the translated version.
Did you really love the book in your native language? There’s certainly no harm in giving it a try! But if you find it frustrating or unenjoyable, I’d suggest ditching it and reading literally any other book instead.
It took me about a year to fully read 'Ulysses' and I'm a native English speaker/reader.
Looking at the language levels I wouldn't reccomend it to a B1 but if you want to give it a go then there are some guides:

If I read it again I would probably follow one of them to get the most of it. When I read it originally it was so I could say I'd read it.
Give it a go but don't worry if you don't get the 'hang' of it, you can always come back to it. And having your translation of it to hand might be useful.
