I saw someone describe "Murderbot Diaries" as "sci-fi junk food" that appeals most to people who see themselves in the character.
I mentioned the other day to my boyfriend that I relate to MB's world-weary snark and its irritation at having to constantly solve other people's problems (because they're too dim, slow, or inattentive) without much in the way of reward.
It's MB's awkward anti-social personality that starts to wear on me, but that's also what some people find most relatable.
