Can you suggest me books in the style of Terry Pratchett or Douglas Adams? (kbin.social)

Those two are my favorite authors, but sadly I've read all their work and neither are making any more.

I absolutely love that style of writing and I'd love to know if there's more like them!

Craig Shaw Gardner's Ebenezum/ Wuntvor trilogies are fantasy comedy.

Philip Jose Farmer (as Kilgore Trout) wrote Venus on the Half Shell as a sci fi comedy.

Mentioning Kilgore Trout... maybe look into the works of Kurt Vonnegut - his works are usually sci-fi - not as openly comedic, but have more of a bittersweet / satire / black comedy / surreal comedic situations.

Yahtzee Croshaw (the Zero Punction guy) has also written several fantasy and sci fi comedy books - Jacques McKeown is one series.

Glen Cook, more famous for the Black Company series - also writes a fantasy comedy series - Garrett P.I..

Steven Erikson, more famous for the Malazan books - also writes a sci-fi comedy series - Wilful Child.
