The famous Murderbot: Only 150 pages that are quite relaxing to read. A bit of Nostromo, a bit of Monk and a bit of O.K. Corral.
     Maybe I'm no longer used to such fast-paced books, but in general I would have been more interested in the other characters and the mood that existed among them.  
I would also have been interested in the fact that the malfunctions in the map software are caused by the ruins of a vanished civilization- but that only happens in an aside.

Otherwise there is nothing to complain about, but also no hymns to sing.
