In sci-fi, humanity tends to start off completely powerless and ignorant of alien life, yet by the end, they become a leading power. Star Trek, despite being my favorite sci-fi, is especially guilty of this. IMO it's kind of narcissistic, and more so, boring. I'd like to see more sci-fi that focuses mainly on aliens, their culture, interactions, problems and solutions, which is why in the sci-fi universe I'm worldbuilding, humans aren't even mentioned.
I think you'll love Asimov's Foundation Saga if you haven't read it already, he precisely focuses on these aspects and when he talks about humans the new perspective is often funny, I'm not really stating a cliche my bad but do check it out if and when you get time. I came across an animated series haven't really seen it but from reviews feels like it's gonna have Asimov feels Legend of the Galactic Heroes
