Yeah very similar vibes in both. I recall reading an old Soviet sci-fi book with similar themes as a kid, but can’t remember the name of it for the life of me. The premise was that there’s a human village on an alien planet, and it follows second generation who were born on the planet and treat it like home. It also had a similar kind of world building where the place really did feel very alien, but at the same time it was normal for the characters because it’s the only world they know. Another book with similar themes I read recently was Dark Eden.
