I'm reading the Indian Lake Trilogy after coming off of dozens of Stephen King (pervy towards women) and Eragon books (too much romance but it's fine) and his dark materials (pervy towards teenage girl) and it's such a breath of fresh air despite it being a slasher and there still being things mentioned? like you can mention a girl is undressed and be the horny teen boy pov without it being clear the author is getting off to it like king and whoever wrote hdm
BUT I get bored very easily so I want action, anything scifi or horror does this exist? Romance is fine but I don't like when it's shoed in for the sake of only girl and only boy in scene ooga booga must bang
I need to branch out I've read a lot and they're good but these ones just peeved me and idek where to look. I liked books like arc of the scythe and chaos walking but at my old age I shouldn't be just reading YA lol

i recently read the tide child trilogy by RJ Barker which is a fantasy and i loved it. itd been a minute since i read any fantasy but it was so nice not to have any “and she breasted boobily everywhere” or rape or overall odd vibes towards women
there’s tons of action. i didn’t think i could care about naval battles, but man i read the whole series in a week
1. The Jasmine throne by Tasha Suri
2. Locke & Key by Joe Hill
3. A touch of blood by Sajni Patel
4. Foul lady fortune by Chloe Gong

6. Something is killing the children by James Tynion IV

Discworld
Probably start with Wyrd Sisters, which is a Macbeth parody with the witches as heroes or Guards! Guards! which is a hard boiled detective story about trying to catch a dragon.
Red Mars is emotional, hard scifi that includes multiple friendships and different kinds of relationships amongst different characters. It touches on a lot. Kim Stanley Robinson is a master.
The Hollows Series by Kim Harrison.
Urban Paranormal witchy. Light romance. Great character development.
Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman.
Litrpg. Funny. Sad. Horror elements. You’re welcome to the new obsession.
Hey, the Chaos Walking trilogy is amazing! Even rereading as an adult I found it just as engaging.
I think you might enjoy the Black Winter series by Darcy Coats, it’s set in a post-apocalyptic world with lots of horror elements.
I find Shirley Jackson to be a fantastic author, specifically The Haunting of Hill House, but I’m not sure if there would be enough action for you in her work.
The Expanse series by James S.A. Corey might be worth checking out as well
