A nice combination of Light Fantasy, Dark Scifi and good story writing. Author is very communicative and seems to have a solid release schedule.

HFY - Humanity Fuck Yeah! is a community for writers and artists to showcase their talent in the HFY genre and for people who enjoy them.
While traditional science fiction often presents humans as vulnerable masses seeking refuge from menacing aliens or as feeble beings overshadowed by aliens with superior logic, strength or empathy. HFY disrupts these archetypes by challenging the norm.
In the world of HFY, humanity is bestowed with exceptional qualities, giving rise to a sense of optimism and empowerment within the reader. It seeks to uplift and inspire, demonstrating the potential of human greatness and the capacity for overcoming seemingly insurmountable odds.

Yes! This was my favorite community back on reddit and it's also here. Now I can finally feel at home here on Lemmy :') hello
One of the greatest HFY stories ever written The Deathworlders by Philip R. Johnson, AKA HamboneHFY.
Retreat, Hell by Ilithi Dragon, an ongoing military Isekai story following the story of a army platoon fighting genocidal fantasy elves. If you want very well written war porn - here you get it. Author doesn't updates his wiki too often so us UpdateBot.
The Last Question - Isaac Asimov
Isaac Asimov: This is by far my favorite story of all those I have written. After all, I undertook to tell several trillion years of human history in the space of a short story and I leave it to you as to how well I succeeded. I also undertook another task, but I won't tell you what that was lest l spoil the story for you. It is a curious fact that innumerable readers have asked me if I wrote this story. They seem never to remember the title of the story or (for sure) the author, except for the vague thought it might be me. But, of course, they never forget the story itself especially the ending. The idea seems to drown out everything -- and I'm satisfied that it should.
Available as an audio-book on archive.org, narrated by Leonard Nimoy
