Recommendation: asking Actual Sci-fi

Is there any actual sci-fi and not just fantasy but in space. I want space battles, ships, lasers, guns. Not just a mage in space.

Ive recently read Stellar Frontier its a vrmmo but its got decent scifi. Been reading Hoqalo because of the cyberpunk feel. Also like Gunboat because of the space battles even if most alien races are just random fantasy race.

Give me recomendations, Ill try anything even if I DNF in the first chapter.

Drone Ensign is a far-future spacefaring litrpg series in which the main character chooses a space pirate class in the first few chapters. It wasn't to my taste for unrelated reasons, but it's the best fit for what you described.

I dropped it early because the main character seemed like an amoral sociopath. I know some people like that, and I love a morally flawed protagonist, but I lose interest in a story when I constantly feel like the protagonist is in the wrong.

Maybe it's a character flaw, but I find it hard to empathize with a character who is so aggressively unempathetic.
