I love weir, he's such a fun read. I'm also no elitist gatekeeper about what is sci-fi or not but someone always talks shit when it gets brought up. The only book of his I don't enjoy is Artemis but even it was pretty good all told. Project Hail Mary was so fun to read and listen to I've probably been through that book 8-10 times.
If you like dorky fun try Red Shirts if you haven't. I think it's scalise who wrote it but not sure. Starter Villain was cool too but a bit short. I am quite addicted to "shitty sci-fi" but also love the hard sci-fi.
My favorite argument from gatekeepers is, "that's not even close to realistic" and it's like, yeah, it's a fucking FICTION story. That's the point.
