Looking for casual fiction books from a single PoV, preferably a series with good audiobook narration

I'm a simple, casual reader of fiction (mostly fantasy, sometimes science, but neither are a requirement), and I mainly listen to audiobooks while I do other things (diagnosed high cognitive ADHD/gifted adult; sitting still and doing only one thing like reading a book is excruciatingly difficult) so a good narrated audiobook is nearly a requirement. Also, even though I just turned 40, I usually end up enjoying books that are just above young adult nowadays; a bit more serious yet enjoyable without needing to keep my own notes of character names and relationships along the way.
I enjoy when the story just follows a central character's PoV, preferably where the reader is discovering things (like magic powers/abilities or a concerning situation that needs investigated/solved) the same time the main character is. Bonus points if it's a series I can binge. I really dislike when the book starts with obscure/impossible to yet understand scenes with characters the reader doesn't yet know of, that are just like "preludes" to later parts of the story. (Is there a term for that type of book that I can use to avoid books I don't like? Or one for simpler main character PoV ones to look for?)

Here's some examples of my [dis]interests:
* Harry Potter series – Loved this, not joking when I admit I've gone through the series literally at least 20 times. Nowadays it's grown stale after so many reads/listens.
* Inheritance series – This was pretty rad when I first read it, and I'm still a big fan. I remember crying at the end of Inheritance. The series seems like kind of a natural fantasy series progression/maturity after HP IMO. One of the few examples of multi-character PoV books I liked, although that was after the first book I think. Although as side note, I just recently stopped reading the new Murtagh book about 3/4 of the day through because it was so boring and dreary for some reason.
* The Dresden Files – Nearly perfect for what I like nowadays. Basically one main character but really great side characters (Michael Carpenter might be my favorite feel-good fantasy character of all time), badass fun, brutal and visceral but only sporadically which makes it really good and not overplayed, great per-book plots that play in perfectly to the overarching series plot (although the most recent one or two seem to kind of go off the rails but I still liked them), I could go on and on. I usually go back through the series once a year, and I'd probably read 16 more if Jim Butcher kept writing them.
* Artemis, Seveneves, The Hail Mary Project – Loved each of these, and Seveneves is another example of a multi-character PoV book that I liked.
* Mistborn series, The Stormlight Archive series – I tried these but the beginning was really annoying and tedious, really not my style. That said, given how well regarded these series are in the fantasy fiction world, I am determined to give them both another shot someday. Just not right now.
* The Dispatcher – Just started this yesterday and so far I'm really liking it, can't wait to read more.
* The Flaw in All Magic – Too juvenile for me, granted many books I like are technically tagged with juvenile fiction or young adult, admittedly.
* Kingkiller Chronicles – I do love me some Patrick Rothfuss in the older Acq. Inc D&D videos, but I read the first book in this series and it was super boring and uninteresting to me. I barely made it through the whole thing, so never started the next one.
* Ready Player One [and Two] – Loved these, admittedly likely due to the fact I was born in the mid-80s and the nostalgia was so good it was palpable.
* The Hobbit/LotR – Only ever finished The Hobbit, because I was reading it to my toddler son before bedtime. I want to love these, as I bow to grand-daddy Tolkien with respect, but they're just too boring for my ADHD brain I think.
* Drizzt books/RA Salvatore – I'm a big D&D fan so I wanted to start reading about Drizzt and other stuff in the Forgotten Realms, but this is a perfect example of a type of book that seems overly complicated from the start as an attempt to convince the reader they need to read more to understand whatever's going on, and then it switches PoVs often which broke my concentration and memory of what's going on. Just couldn't get into the story.

Thanks for reading, looking forward to recs.
