Those are pretty good for starter.
I would recomend the Revelations Cycle if you like light but fun military novels with power armors too,it's about Human Mercs the first hundred years after first contact, humans aren't quite hot but they aren't space Africa either, the first one it's the worse one, but it's easy to read and has Kaiju vs big ass mech, piloted be a brony tough. Seems the guy than wrote it didn't knew if make a YA novel or a military one, there is plent of need for editing, but has a few really enjoyable side characters than make the cringey boy bearable.
The other solidify the universe and are less cringey, the Winged hussar it's probably the most interesting, but has the fewer power armor scenes, it's most based in space battles. Asbaran solutions has best MC for me, and the Golden horde it's final of the first cycle and finish some loose thread from the other three novels.
There is plenty of parts than could have been done way better (like the aliens, than are pretty wonky, like from a early ninties game like Ur-quan) but I dunno why I read it all in a breeze and enjoyed it even if my brain said it wasn't that well made.
The cover power armors are quite cool too.

Anything by Kawakami.
Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon gets /m/ as fuck at times(It has an anime), Owari no Chronicle has an entire world that has "Machines are alive" as their equivalent of laws of physics.. His works are lengthy and borders on being autistically deep and well-thought out though.

Theres some fuckhuge mechs in Book of the New Sun but since the protagonist thinks in medieval terms they aren't described in a way that makes sense
That makes them all the cooler, of course
Also read your Asimov

Robotech novels are actually pretty good.

They're alright. As far as western pulp sci-fi goes, it's alright.

But why does everything has to be covered in the veil of moeshit covers? It's not like those people who enjoy that appreciates deep SF.

The Lensman series is a lot of fun. I put some cleaned epubs on mechachan's /sf/ if you can't find them anywhere else.

Most of it is classic space opera without any giant robots, but there a few bits where the hero breaks out his power armor and slugs it out. This stuff is from a decade before Starship Troopers, which makes it all the more exotic. There are also some very LoGH-like scenes with axe-and-armor boarding parties, if you're into that. And as a few other posters mentioned in that other thread, the power creep is a glorious thing to behold.

Anything by James Luceno is usually a pretty decent read if you don't mind some overdone prose.

A quick tip.
Most of his works has his characters in skintight suits.
Big tits are plenty, flatties are plenty too.
Pervert jokes are plenty too.

In Horizon, there was an entire flashback chapter about how 2 characters met and that chapter ended up becoming a vivid description of the wild sex the 2 characters had for like in-universe half a month non-stop, genitals were never referred by their names, just 'shaft' and 'hole'.

By any measure its not moeshit visually, and even if it has the moeshit look, its not the thing that deters people from reading, its the length of his books.

Titanicus is excellent if you've ever been interested in what a tech worshipping society like the AdMech is like.

For Gundam LNs, seek out:
Sentinel
Hathaway's Flash
Twilight Axis
Unicorn

OP, we have had this thread many times already. Just search the archive, there are a lot of suggestions.

OP check out The Expanse novels
