Hey so i just finished The Legendary Mechanic and its my very first story that has any hind of Sci-fi inside of it.So now im looking for some other story like this one white sci-fi
You could try the Mechs touch its about designing mech, its a good read I think if your starting out scifi
Forty Milleniums of Cultivation. Cultivation but futuristic. And there is a sense of sacrifice in a lot of people (but not everyone). Maybe it will make you cry about the scenes like me. Minor romantic-subplot. Enemies appearing but beaten easily. Interesting because MC is a OP crafter.
Among one on nu, Legend of Galactic Heroes Seikai no Monshou On rrl, Quod Olim Erat Western, Seriously just google them, there are tons of great scifi novels available.
