Looking for Hard Sci-Fi About Advancing Technology and Reaching the Galaxy!

I don't want novels where someone stays on Earth, beating up the Musk brothers one day and kicking Steve Jobs the next. No academic genius stories where they compete and win awards nonstop! And no fantasy disguised as sci-fi. I want stories about leaving Earth and conquering the universe step by step!

Looking for Science and Technology Novels: Dimensions, the Known and Unknown Universe, Genes, and Super Technology

Three-Body Stories! Three-Body Stories! Three-Body Stories! The Three-Body Animation Made Me Furious

Looking for books like "The Three-Body Problem: I'm Really Not a Wallfacer". Give me some Three-Body stories. The heavily altered versions are just awful, and I couldn't get through the Three-Body animation, so give me some Three-Body novels instead. <(`^´)>

Hard Science Fiction

Mecha and battleships, with a vast cosmic setting grounded in real data and scientific principles.

High-Quality Science Fiction Novels

Please Recommend Science Fiction on the Level of The Three-Body Problem

Hmm... something like Right Eye, for example.

Hard Science Fiction That Goes Cosmic in Scale: No Mecha or Monsters, It Has to Be Hard Sci-Fi

It has to be grounded in reality or have a unique theoretical framework, like "The Galactic Empire" or "The Three-Body Problem"... but... it needs to have that web-novel feel... Aaaah, I’m so torn (๑•́ ₃ •̀๑). Cuties, please stop recommending "The Three-Body Problem"! I’ve definitely read a masterpiece like that.

Sci-Fi Novels With Prose Like Liu Cixin's

I especially love Liu Cixin’s science fiction. His stories feel completely fresh to me. I’m not so keen on sci-fi about love between humans and AI, or stories focused on human emotions and introspection against a sci-fi backdrop. I’m hoping to find some hard sci-fi.

Tech Fiction, But No More Controlled Nuclear Fusion, I’m Getting Sick of It

Looking for books similar to "I'm a Level-Two Civilization, So Having a Two-Dimensional Foil Is Perfectly Reasonable".

Any Stories with a Mechanical Lifeform as the Protagonist?

Are There Any Hard Science Fiction Novels Like The Three-Body Problem?

Preferably not the starship civilization trope I've seen a million times.

Sci-Fi, Interstellar, Black Hole Creation

Sci-fi + comedy + interstellar warfare

Sci-fi, post-apocalyptic, or fantasy are all fine.

Sci-Fi and Interstellar, No Fantasy Elements, Preferably with a System

Please, experts, help me out.

Uncovering the Ecosystems of the Universe’s Civilizations

Looking for books like "Thoughts and Civilization". Interstellar conquest, human civilization and UFOs, the depths of the cosmos... war, supernatural abilities, and ship cannons.
