The whole series is about Murderbot learning how to be a person.

Or, more specifically, how to be exactly what it is--a sentient bot/human construct with wants and needs and opinions of its own.

Yeah I guess I could have phrased it as "learning what it means to be a person" because person does not = human, and Murderbot can be its weird little bot/human construct and still be a person.

Or, how to recover from extreme depersonalization and build your own weird little family/support network.

Yes! It's actually like, extremely important to the series that constructs can be considered people but not be considered human. Murderbot doesn't want to be human, that's stupid. But it also very much doesn't want to be a disposable piece of equipment, because fuck that.

Yeah, I didn't finish the series but I liked the fact that instead of learning how to assimilate into everyone else's idea of personhood, a lot of the story was Murderbot redefining personhood for itself and figuring out how it fit into the world and assert its own wants.

Since all the sci-fi I read is (as far as I know) written by human beings, stories about aliens and robots tend to remain very human-centric, and I think the Murderbot Diaries try very hard not to do that. It's refreshing and interesting.
