I’m normally a bit more of a hard scifi reader with the likes of Bobiverse and Expanse (and Andy Weir/Thaichovsky/IanMBanks/Herbert etc) but I really enjoyed this humerous take on a rogue cyborg.

Is there anything out there in this vane I should look into?

    Yeah! The wayfarer series is fabulous!

    I took this exact route, I read murderbot diaries, then wayfarer, then l really struggled to find anything as good after that.

    The single best hard scifi novel I’ve ever read was called “fallen dragon” by Peter F Hamilton. Without spoiling anything I’ll just say this, I’ve never seen a book so perfectly snatch up all its loose ends and tie them in a neat bow. It’s impressive.

    If you’re into space battles, there’s the Lost Fleet series by Jack Campbell. And If you like the lost fleet, you’ll probably also enjoy the Temeraire series (not scifi, but fun). It’s literally Master and Commander with dragons, England vs France, trying to halt Napoleon’s steady advance and defeat the dragons of Napoleon’s formidable aerial core.
