I'm a big John Scalzi fan. Whenever one of his books release, it's basically xmas for me. There have been a few less than stellar books, but overal they are very enjoyable.

Dennis E. Taylor - Bobiverse

That was pretty fun except the 4th book.

Scalzi - the first few books yes, afterwards I just lost interest and read them for the sake of reading them.

For me I enjoyed both of Scalzi's series, the story written in a plain language but it's still exciting and captive, with some plot twists added.

Each series is set in different universes with their own limitations.
