I love one (1) sassy, socially awkward, serial-obsessed rogue murder bot. 

Murder bot and ART’s dynamic was such a joy to read, oh my goodness. It really elevated this novella from the last, and the character development is great thus far. I audibly aww’ed when one of the humans at the end asked to hug murder bot! It’s just so cute to see how murder bot treasures their humans :’) even if they are too shy to engage. 

Maybe we’ll see the rogue sex bot soon again? Very interested to see where this all goes, especially with some more information being revealed about murder bot’s backstory. I’m really liking the episodic, “diary” feel of this series.
