In fact I read the "Rainwild" series bashed on my favorable experience with

There is often a great deal of difference between the sequels and the initial
novel of a serial. "Triplanetary" was the initial novel of the Lensmen series,
but it is a much more polished novel than the rest of the pulp series.

Uh, Triplanetary was a retrofit.
Originally a separate story it was much later reworked and combined with new material to tie it to First Lensman, itself a late addition to the series, for the first book edition of the set. The series originally started with Galactic Patrol.
The extra polish came from the reworking, years after the other books.
