He got famous after his first book was published. (Sounds good)
≒He got more famous than before his first book was published. (Sounds really weird)
They were walking three steps behind their father.
≒Their father was walking three steps ahead of them. (These are exactly the same)
She arrived at Tom’s house half an hour ahead of schedule.
≒ She arrived at Tom’s house half an hour earlier than she planned to. (Almost exactly the same, but the first one makes it sound like she was worried about being late for something)
He is too kind.
≒He is extremely kind compared with other people. (The same)
He always says one word too many. (Very good)
≒His talk always has one more word compared with other people. (Sounds very weird and unnatural)
There isn’t enough wine.
≒We don’t have as many bottles of wine as we need. (Basically the same)
Perry is lawyer enough to win the case. (lol, sounds kind of funny but good. There is a common English phrase "to be man enough" that you can use like this: "He's not man enough to go into that scary house alone!")
≒ Perry is as experienced a lawyer as to win the case. (Doesn't really work)
≒ Perry is as competent a lawyer as to win the case. (Doesn't work either. I think I would say "Perry is a [good/experienced/competent] enough lawyer to win the case.")

@0227_junya I don't understand the question. If you're asking whether these sentences are okay, they sound totally natural to me! :)

"He became famous following the publication of his first book."
"He never knows when to stop talking."
