I genuinely enjoyed this story. It was sweet, simple, and well told. Much like PotatoKnight, I enjoyed watching the evolution of Robot!Opehlia, as well as her robotic observations concerning the strangeness of humanity. The only complaint I had was that I wished it had been Robot!Ophelia that had actually saved herself, not Zebulon Vance. There's been a fairly long string of stories, this, Saving Alan Idle, and the Golden Eagle, which all have a female character who must be saved by the complicated machinations of male characters, and it would've been nice for this to take a break from that particular trope.
That being said, there was a lot of little details in this story that made it quite enjoyable. I liked the idea of people paying to play a part in a story, such as Hamlet, and that that idea stretches so far as to even be able to pick the exact style and performance level of their co-stars. That was a good touch. I also didn't mind too much that it was a love story, but the love side of things seemed a bit forced to me. It felt like he feel in love with her just because, and that doesn't really do it for me.
