I’m 75% of the way through the last book in the series. I’ve read all of the novellas. What would you recommend next?
Three only other series I can think of that’s similar is the Three Body series from Cixin Liu.

I really appreciate that he stuck to his guns on the self imposed “no FTL” rule for those books. It really makes things interesting
No FTL? So I’m assuming the books center around one local star system?
Nope, sleep pods, ships that get close but not quite to the speed of light, and decades between destinations. The timelines of his books are massive.
That’s pretty interesting, I’ll have to check his stuff out. It reminds me of my favorite sci-fi book regarding large time scales was The Forever War, which discusses how traveling at the speed of light creates time bubbles for the passengers aboard the ship, essentially the whole general relativity concept. This makes it so that by the time their soldiers get back to their main station hubs from missions, sometimes multiple years/decades/longer have passed. I highly recommend that book to anyone that’s never read it and likes sci-fi!
