If you are in STEM, get a PhD then go into industry. Academia is soul sucking.

If you want something with low magic, everything Michael J Sullivan is writing. He’s got about 18 completed books in the world of Elan, we 3 distinct series, and he’s starting on a 4th one.

Ryiria Revalations - original series, 6 books, combined into 3 duplexes. first Duplex is Theft of Sword. The series starts about 3 years into Royce and Hadrian’s story.

Ryiria Cronicles - His wife wanted more of Royce and Hadrian, so he wrote a prequel series starting with their first job together. 5 books currently, and we will probably get another at some point. First book is The Crown Tower.

Legends of the first empire - set 3000 years before Ryiria, making the setting late ag rev/early bronze age. 6 books, but I’ve only read the first 2 right when they started releasing and need to get back to the series. also has a couple novelas I just discovered.

He is now working on a sequel series to Ryiria, codenamed The Cycle, which he anticipates being a novela and 5 full books.

and now for something completely different, a sci-fi recommendation. Andy Weir is quite popular right now with the movie adaptation of Project Hail Mary coming out, but I’m going to recommend The Martian. very great scifi book, even better if your a numbers guy. Also a well done movie adaptation and the 3rd movie in the unofficial “Saving Matt Damon” trilogy, the other 2 of course being saving Private Ryan and Interstellar.

halfway through your first sentence I knew you were talking about Rothfus or Martin.
