I totally agree! It's one of the absolute most fascinating and best parts of SF&F for me.

You're not alone in this, OP. It's one of the chief appeals of things like both Star Trek and Lord of the Rings for me. And one of my favorite tropes is a character trying to navigate a completely new culture the best they can (although it can be cringey on occasion).

neither sci-fi nor fantasy necessary have difference species, do you not really read those genres without the multi-species? I kinda like those genres for a different but related reason: i like to know how the magic/tech changes cultural stratification. but they can all be human for me.

yeah, it's a good point, you can have really interesting and fantastically weird societies and cultures even just with human beings! sometimes those are even more interesting

This was my comment. They can all be human. And I like seeing what you're talking about in terms of new cultural stratification. But personally I prefer it when there is at least one non-human species interacting with humans because I think it gives more variety in culture, personality, etc. and gives an opportunities to explore how vastly different and possibly innately different species would interact and coexist.

I'm so late, OP, but - if you can take it - I offer up The Faded Sun trilogy (Cherryh), which has humans and aliens trying to understand and work together (or not), also her 'Foreigner' series (long human trying to understand aliens but also work with the humans who want to control him), and the Chanur novels, which is all aliens/alien POV with a lone human, and how humans suddenly showing up really skew everything (and all the crazy politics and whatnot going on with the several allied alien species).

And a stand-alone book, Cuckoo's Egg, all by Cherryh. You might find the kind of things you enjoy in one or all of these series.
