What the title says, I’m tired of the trope where humans are the least advanced in the universe.
I’d like to read something different where we’re the more advanced ones (not necessarily the most advanced). As an example I quite enjoyed the Ender’s Game sequels and the angle of us being the more advanced ones was quite interesting.
Do you have any recommendations?
I’m as antiReddit as the next person, but r/HFY is exactly that. My favorite from that sub was the series Billy Bob Space Trucker. Highly recommend.
If we’re talking HFY there there’s this opus here

Came here to say this. Nothing else even comes close. And if you want to stay away from reddit, Ralts has self-published it as Behold: Humanity! You can get in for Kindle or in dead tree form on Amazon. Edit: Apologies Bob, I didn’t see your link was for Royal Road instead of reddit.
I found this post a few days ago.
I’m now on chapter 78 and accelerating.
Thank you.
Surely Deathworlders is the defining HFY story?
Hmm which of the twenty million versions?
I’m still reading Deathworlders. Gets a bit repetitive and a little… furry at times but overall it’s been a fun read.
