Doesn't need to be explicitly political can just be vibes. I'm just getting very tired of every main character being either a gruff rugged individualist or a bazinga nerdy individualist. Thanks

Yep that's why I put the note in about the politics being so-so. It's a mixed bag.
The pluses are the hereditary monarchy is African descent/ dark skinned (I'm pretty sure, but I could be getting this confused with Collapsing Empire. I think they both use this theme), Harrington has a huge emotional range from courageous and awesome commander, to the most hurt and emotionally vulnerable, a polycule, etc.
The downsides are exactly what you listed. I still think it's worth reading
