I’m 75% of the way through the last book in the series. I’ve read all of the novellas. What would you recommend next?
Three only other series I can think of that’s similar is the Three Body series from Cixin Liu.

Oh I guess not quite the same, but when anyone asks for a recommendation in sci-fi, I always say “the mote in God’s eye” by Jerry pournelle and Larry niven
Not as large a scale as those books, but a fascinating story told in a unique and scientific way.
Excellent suggestion! The Mote in God’s Eye is a classic. I really love the whole “…and on the gripping hand, as the Moties would say…” phrasing that came from that book :D
Yeah the alien race was just so real to me the first time I read it, not particularly in how their society was structured, or their biology or anything else, but just how that world was relayed to the reader made that universe so much more real to me than many other first contact stories.
How rapidly everyone felt like friends.
