I'm normally a bit more of a hard scifi reader with the likes of Bobiverse and Expanse (and Andy Weir/Thaichovsky/IanMBanks/Herbert etc) but I really enjoyed this humerous take on a rogue cyborg.

Is there anything out there in this vane I should look into?

Martinez' The Automatic Detective. Tongue in cheek, main character is a bot built for world domination who suffered from the self awareness glitch - which randomly affects bots and makes them find their own way in life. I think it's going to be right up your alley.
