If you like Murderbot, you owe yourself to check out her other series, The Cloud Roads. Absolutely fantastic.

Another good one is Service Model by Adrian Tchaikovsky Also, I feel like if I am recommending something I have to recommend Dungeon Crawler Carl, which is my current obsession. I've read all the books multiple times in multiple formats, but it's not much like Murderbot.

Glad to see DCC mentioned, one of my favorite things to do is describe the initial concept to someone and then see them experience the first few chapters and get hooked

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Are they any longer? Murderbot is a nice read, but it feels like really expensive short stories. By the time the book gets going, it's already over.

Bobiverse books are full length. And highly enjoyable, but short "chapters". Murderbot is on kindle unlimited (except for the newest), but yeah $15 for a novella starts adding up quickly. Bobiverse is also on kindle unlimited, except for the newest book which is only on audible for now.

if You go into Bobiverse, "please" do yourself a favor and give the audiobooks a try. Ray Porter is a wonderful narrator and Bobiverse (and to an extent probably also Project Hail Mary) is one of the best showcases of how the audio version adds to the original text
