The context of "human went to live in virtual reality, leaving everything to AI to manage" is not bad, too bad I can't vibe with the story. It's hard to give a high score to jokes that don't make you laugh, right?
The story's humor is heavy in pop culture (if you haven't guessed from the title "Utopia, LOL?"), a pair of AI with opposite characters. Unfortunately, I was not impressed by its storyline and lackluster characters, along with message-style dialogue, emojis, Middle Earth, Bird Simulator, VR Being-walk-on.
The only part that I found funny was when the tour guide enthusiastically asked Charlie to cosplay the floor tile: "I'm really underselling it. The sensation of being edged where your body has stark boundaries and stillness inside, no little fluttering feelings like a bird heart thub-thubbing away, no squashy boobs or butts or venom sacs to bump or sit on. Everything is rocky and stark and permanent, even your own mind."
