I don't know if you can go by this. But I will say that when I go for reviews - particularly more obscure authors, those readers on Amazon have been close to the mark and helped me discover John Brunner, K. W. Jeter, W.T. Quick and Jack Vance to name a few.
These readers though may choose something totally different (More recent? Specific genre?), because I have never heard of the first three books/authors.
The Vance Blue World book is an expansion of his short story "The Kragen" -- while the book is good, I think the short story is better, more tightly plotted and fast-paced.
Others have already recommended the rest of the Tschai series, so I don't need to do so even if the urge is strong -- it's really good! The whole series is probably easier to find in the omnibus edition put out by Orb books, but that doesn't include the corrections done in the Vance Integral Edition to restore text edited out of the original pulp version.
You should try some of the older, shorter SF adventure classics. Here are a few links to get you started. I can vouch personally that all of these are smart, fun and well-written.
Edit: the best place to get recommendations of this nature is probably r/PrintSF.
Planet T'schai is 4 books involving the Green Chasch, the Dirdir, the Pnume, and the Wankh (or Wanek per Vance's last requests).
4 different alien factions with humans living among them. There's even an RPG supplement here that captures the theme of the weird fantasy setting, despite it having some sci fi elements in it.
