Annoyingly I can't find the original any more, but I do note that most of the 1 star reviewers are angry about anti-religious tone, so perhaps that was the bee in their bonnet?
I've read and enjoyed the other two as amusing romps (albeit of otherwise quite different tone). So you might possibly enjoy the Lady Astronaut Universe Series by Mary Robinette Kowal. Just a thought.
IMO the Bobiverse books are trying to have a fun go at a few different big sci-fi concepts and on that basis I think they're fairly successful.
The first one in particularly did feel a bit too mary-sue ish. That plus the slightly excessive nerd-referencing might put someone off. I wondered several times whether a litigious rightsholder might go to battlestations on some of the use of trademarked franchise names!
