Murderbot is just not my taste
I finished reading All Systems Red yesterday and it just feels so... inconsequential? The entire novella is written in a frame that only pays off at the end, like the author only just figured out how to end the story at the ending.
And it all just ends? There's very little character growth, Murderbot as a whole feels kind of boring, and the hints at the larger world are nice but barely play into the story. Overall, it feels more like a web novel than a multi-award winning book.
