I finished reading the story, with a degree of interest, but I am unsure how I feel about it. It is exactly what it set out to be, a story about someone becoming a robot, but because of this, our maid's feelings and emotions are very muted. She is constrained and contained, kept on a narrow path. As a result, I found it hard to care to deeply about her, or get to involved or invested in her journey.
Very much a matter of personal taste though, and others will prefer this style.
What really shone through for me, and got and kept my attention, was the way the people around her spoke and behaved towards her. Her best friend put her upto this, treated her like a maid, but for all of this, clearly understood and saw that this was just a part of her friend, not the totality of her friend, that she was still a person, and when she was not working as a maid, she was still her friend and someone she wanted to be close with and spend time with.
Yet in contrast most of the others very quickly stopped seeing her as a person, or even a human being, if they ever did to start with. Almost instantly the maid went from being a person who had to give permission to a simple object they controlled, manipulated, and did whatever they wanted with and to, as and when they wanted to.
I think it would have been interesting to explore this side of things a little bit more, since there are definitely some fun dynamics to play with here
