Hes anyone here ever read the Tschai quadrilogy (Planet of Adventure), written by Jack Vance in the '60s?

It's the first scifi book I ever read, and I remember it being absurdly good

>White Human American Male™ crashes on alien planet
>proceeds to export democracy and fucks up the equilibrium between the several alien species that had been at war on the planet for centuries
>fucking obliterates one of the enemies cities in a matter of two pages, leading the enslaved semi-humans around the planet to rebel against their respective alien lords
>finds the time to fuck several women among princesses, daughters of chiefs and mind controlled subservient slaves
>one of the enemies he faces is a cult of batshit crazy raving fat women who tries to have a princess raped by an alien troll and then burned because she's young and hot, and they hate her because they'll never have that
>kills, steals and plunders in his steel-strong conviction that his ways are the more civil and just
>fuck Star Trek's rule of non-interference, he steals a spaceship and vows to come back to bring the True American Dream to this godforsaken planet full of alien sandniggers

I had so much fucking fun reading that book, it was obviously a power fantasy of the author, but the worldbuilding was amazing
