Have you read any Iain Banks? A lot of your fiction reads and ratings are similar to my dad’s, and that’s his favourite author lol. He has a load of things I think you’ll find gripping, both sci-fi and non-scifi. I can recommend some specific stuff if you’d like, but Consider Phlebas is the start of his acclaimed sci-fi series, and Espedair Street is my dad’s favourite of his non-scifi books. Ken MacLeod is another similar author you might like, whose sci-fi is a lot more grounded and based on real life, similar yo Andy Weir’s.
Also, if you like Tchaikovsky, Alister Reynold’s might be worth checking out.
