Any sci-fi with aliens where humans are not the less advanced race?

MODERATORS
The Bobiverse is a fun read. Highly recommend
It's fun but on the second re-read I can't help but notice how first-person perspective is extremely overused and the overall writing style could use some refinement.
Yeah it's not great writing but it's fun so I'm cool with it. Fourth book should not have happened though.
The one with the space river megastructure? I really liked that one actually, kinda reminded me of Ringworld with the whole "exploring an alien megastructure whose inhabitants don't know how to build such things anymore" sorta plot.
Yeah I didn't hate the premise, it just felt rushed and incomplete. It's kind of like I went to a lunch place where I've had a lot of good meals but today I got a basket of cold fries with too little salt.
Shit, there's a 4th? I only listened to 3 then unsubbed from audible.
I might have been in a bad mood when I read it, but I just remember it as not as good as the originals. I think it was just rushed out.
Wasn't tracking there was a fourth. Third seemed like a logical conclusion.
I came here specifically hoping this series was already mentioned.
Although they did meet one race more advanced.
I loved this series. Very entertaining and kept me engaged wanting more.
Counterpoint: it's dreadful and I gave up in the middle of the first book.
It's certainly well regarded though so worth a look for yourself, op.
