I'm looking for some good space opera. I read a lot on royal road and KU. I love space opera, but I'm sick of military and AI tropes. Any good suggestions? The more ship to ship battles the better. I understand that may be counter-intuitive, but I've read several privateer/freighter/scrapper books that were amazing. Looking for more of the same.

Thanks!

You can try the Salvagers series by Alex White. It's fun space fantasy that starts with A Big Ship at the Edge of the Universe.

Another light read that is more space drama than space fantasy and has lower "stakes" is... a book whose name I'm blanking on and definitely won't remember until I get home to look on my shelf for it.
