Your second-sentence is exactly my point. I get the Murderbots author wanted us disgusted and repulsed by Cyn, but her personality developement is not even on-par with an abused child.

Sure, she's not going to like losing in 1v1, until she convinces herself she does, but nothing we're shown is going to make her change tactics beyond repeatedly escalating. Without a season 2, all we have is a backwater world of drones living to see another day.
