I totally understand abandoning ExForce. It got better once the writer went full time but it still leaves a lot to be desired. I put up with it because I’m a completionist and the author has a plan to end the series in just a few more books so I’ll stick it out but I get it.
I think the core ideas in Bobiverse keep me hooked as I just enjoy them but I see your point and don’t begrudge anyone who gave up on it.
This is a totally random question but have you ever read the Honor Harrington series? They aren’t related at all (other than “sci-fi”) but I’m always interested in other series people have read and enjoyed (or not enjoyed) and Honorverse is one of my favorites.
I recommend the audio because the narrator does a very good job IMHO. I tried to read the books after listening to them first but felt it was lacking compared to the audio.
I will say that this series is pretty technical (in that I talks about the speeds of things and how fast things are moving) which I greatly enjoy but I know isn’t everyone’s cup of tea.
