I'm looking for some good modern military sci-fi, does any exist? I keep starting award winning series and they are always utter shit. Recently I've tried the Frontlines series(Unbelievable, bad, ermersion broke too much by poorly written combat), The Interdependency series(muh strong female characters and weak males trope, many bad attempts at humor, no motivation to pick up the second book), Expeditionary Force(immersion kept getting broke by bad combat, never picked up the second book), Legacy Fleet series(Unbelievable space combat), Freedoms Fire(just started first book, has the all too common trope of a protagonist who's simultaneously got little to no backbone but is also a superhuman in combat despite having no prior experience).
The only good modern series I've picked up recently has been the Bobiverse series. While the author writes bob as an immensely frustrating, overly emotional, pussy it is still fun to read.
When I was a teen I started out with Military Scifi by reading the Halo books(I remember them as being great), Robots and Empire series(Amazing), and many Heinlein books(all great).
Do you have any recommendations for me? I guess I'm going to want sci-fi written by someone who's actually spent time in the military. I don't want any superhero BS unless it's believable like the Spartans

>Pic related was my favorite Halo book, been 6 years since I read it, Halo went to shit with the Forerunner trilogy
