Based on your list, you’d probably love The Expanse series if you haven’t already torn through it. Same kind of grounded sci-fi vibe as Project Hail Mary but with more politics and space opera elements. The audiobooks are incredible too – different narrators for different POV chapters which really brings it to life.
For fantasy, The Blacktongue Thief by Christopher Buehlman has that same “can’t put it down” energy as Dungeon Crawler Carl – dark humor, great world-building, and a protagonist who’s constantly in over his head. The author narrates the audiobook himself and he’s got this perfect gravelly voice for it. i actually listened to it twice back to back because I missed so many details the first time through.
