I haven't had the issues you describe unless I have done something "wrong". When I learned how to play Valheim, I did the following and was destroyed or killed for it: Exploring at night while low level with low level gear. Wandering through biomes that I am not prepared for with better gear, weapons, and food. Not knowing how to use shields properly. Not knowing how to eat food to get proper buffs for health or stamina. Not understanding that sometimes I really should just run away instead of trying to attempt to perfectly fight a group of enemies that outnumber me or something that just is much stronger than me. For example you can fight and kill a troll with low level weapons but you have to do it almost without making a mistake. Take one hit and you are probably done. There are smarter ways to fight the troll BUT if dark forest allies show up like the healing greydwarf variety then i would just leave cause he will start healing the troll. ALso big is not realizing how important the rested buff is that you get at home and out in the wild with at least a fireplace. Maintaining that buff helps a lot. Finally, you said buildings collapse are destroyed so easily. I honestly don't knoww what you are talking about - buildings are rather strong and attacks are also pretty infrequent especially in the meadows, unless you built your structure rather close to dark forest biome as enemies will wander.
