Audible credit burning a hole in my digital pocket...suggestions?

So, first someone on EN World (I'm forgetting who) turned me onto The Wandering Inn, like some addiction broker. Despite the number of books in the series I finished them all in a time period that makes me question if I have a problem.

I kept seeing Dungeon Crawler Carl being recommended and though it looked dumb. But I was jonesing and gave in. Damn it if I didn't get hooked. And then I finished THAT stash as well.

Now I have Audible credits building up in my account as I wait for Pirateaba or Matt Dinniman to make their next drop off.

Are there any other light fantasy or sci fi series or litrpg series, with good audio-book version, you would recommend? Note that there are books I would much rather read. With the Wandering Inn and Dungeon Crawler Carl, it isn't the word crafting that captures me, it is strong characters, interesting world building, and good voice actors. Books I can enjoy listening to on long drives and doing chores, making dinner, etc.

If you have any interest in Warhammer 40K I can't recommend The Infinite and the Divine enough.

It's got a similar sense of humor to Terry Pratchett with the dark comedy Warhammer's known for.

I'd also recommend Johannes Cabal the Necromancer, first book in the Johannes Cabal series. It's a dark comedy set in a world inspired by HP Lovecraft. It doesn't have Lovecraft's bigotry though, so don't worry about that.

Spinning Silver's more serious. It's set in a fictional eastern European kingdom called Lithvas and has three main viewpoint characters. It's got a magic system based on deals and symbolism, it's empowering rather than a power fantasy, and has a lot of catharsis as you watch the protagonists help each other overcome their obstacles. It's got a lot of moments where you finally realize how the author was setting things up as they fall into place and it's great.

Locke Lamora, if you haven't read/heard them yet, are delightful.

Not necessarily light, but optimistic in dark times, is the wonderful The Bright Sword.

I am hopelessly addicted to the Murderbot books by Martha Wells.

The narration by Kevin R. Free is spot on.
