John Carter's Formulaic Stories of Mars

Better pace and connective tissue, but the same tricks and tropes really put an enjoyment ceiling on this for me.

John Carter goes from imprisonment to inspiration, repeatedly discovering new and unknown races on Mars, winning their favour and destroying their old regimes. Every few chapters. Rinse and repeat.
