I am looking for books similar to "At the Mountains of Madness" by H.P. Lovecraft(ive pretty much read everything from lovecraft), "Eversion" by Alastair Reynolds, "Das Eulentor" by Alexander Gruber (dont know if this book ever released in another language), "The Hollow Places" by T. Kingfisher, I also tried reading "Ascension" by Nicholas Binge but it wasnt really to my taste. Hope you have some ideas. thx in advance

In the same direction but with a bit humour thrown in and with 2 girls as characters: Girls Last Tour, where they drive on a Kettenkrad through the ruins of a a gigantic multilayered futuristic city with industrial complexes. They explore the last remnants of human civilisation, so also part future anthropology.

Now that I'm thinking about it, a few mangas have something like that, but only 2 more come to my mind right now:

  • Dungeon Meshi (very strong world building in this one)
  • Second half of BioMega (from same author as Blame, but not as good in my eyes)
