Books similar to the Bobiverse series? (sopuli.xyz)

I just finished the third book from the series and am really digging it. I especially like the dense plot that doesn't stall, and the light-heartedness of the Bobs.

Can anyone here who likes the series as well recommend similar books, or also completely different books that are as light to read as the Bobiverse books?

I recommend "Old man's war" and "the forever war". Second the murder bot diaries, already mentioned.

"The Martian" was a great movie, but the book was even better. If anything the protagonist is even more snarky. "Project hail Mary" is by the same author.

Yep, those Andy weir books are amazing. I read the Martian and listened to project hail Mary. Both great
