My take on this is that you don't really have a good feel for what the game is about. You know what you don't like but you don't understand that everything about this game is a considered decision by the devs.
They are not ignorant of the fact that there are inventory decisions, that you must immediately after getting your pick axe go and ditch out your base (some folks don't for some unknown reason), that there will be raids that make this absolutely necessary if you want peace. Not only do you maybe want to ditch but then you need to set down items that will stop spawning within your base. If even the smallest area is not covered you can have a troll pop into the middle of your base. It's a process. Diligent Vikings are rewarded, sloppy ones not so much.
The night is a dangerous time which is about the only time you ever see a GD Shaman & brute ouside of spawners in BF. They tell you to sleep at night, over and over again.
They make stamina an issue, starting at the beginning of the game so you learn that you must keep track of it. They give you 3 food slots for this very reason. They give you 3 (much later 4) types of foods to balance this depending on what you are doing and where you are.
You must make decisions and all decisions have consequences. The earlier you kill The bosses, the sooner you start getting more raids so the best thing to do is kill it when you are actually ready to go into the next biome. For the Elder you should probably have nice bronze weapons and round shield, a full set of level 3 troll gear or bronze gear and be very comfortable in the black forest.

I wouldn't run out and face tank a troll until I have a bronze shield and my health above 100. Your ability to parry is directly related to your health.
Knowing all this means you know that the black forest is where you spend a lot of time gathering resources. Without tons of exploration and crypts done the rest of the game is going to be a struggle.

Oh, and the trolls always spawn in 2s at beginning of event. If you kill one, another spawns. Your decision is whether to just kite them around, kill for mats or make a fully defended base big enough that you can ignore the event all together. Your choice. You can choose to follow the course of least resistance and have fewer deaths or you can choose to ignore it all and be very frustrated.

Millions of Vikings have gone before you and learned from their mistakes, but some find the game too linear and too demanding, making them progress in a certain way. Not every game fits every gamer's playstyle.
