I’ll be honest, I’m a little disappointed in Murderbot right now.
The issue with coded neurodivergent characters is that if the author doesn’t understand the character, as the series goes on, the character will lose itself and change in a way that doesn’t make sense for them.

I’m not directly saying that’s happened with Murderbot. But the first book’s impression of a socially anxious, possibly depressed AI feels like a totally different character than the next two book’s angry, slightly mean AI.
I can see why he became like that? But it doesn’t feel like the logical next step in character development to me.

I will ABSOLUTELY keep reading and still love the series. I still 100% recommend it and will continue to do so! I’m just a little disappointed how it seems like Murderbot changed so drastically from the one I fell in love with in the first book.
