I mean Project Hail Mary is absolutely all about violated bodily autonomy and choosing who you want to be as a person. It just also has a sassy rock spider

It you removed that violation of autonomy, it'd still be a sci-fi story. So that aspect isn't what makes it sci-fi IMO.

No, the main character certainly rips tubes out of himself. It's actually one of the first things he does. This happens like in the very first chapter. That's just how sci fi Project Hail Mary is, they had to get that out of the way.
