The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human?

Synopsis

The world has been subsumed by a surreal and sadistic competition known as Hell's Game. The protagonist, Liu Zheng, finds himself employed as a delivery driver for a macabre restaurant, where he must navigate a workplace filled with monstrous clients and eccentric, non-human coworkers. To survive this nightmarish environment, Liu Zheng is forced to abandon his aspirations of being a decent man and embrace a more ruthless persona. This novel reads like a dark comedy blended with the survival game trope, evoking the absurdist horror found in titles like Alice in Borderland. It is ideal for readers who enjoy high-concept world-building and protagonists who undergo moral decay for the sake of survival. Those seeking a traditional, hopeful fantasy or a linear plot should skip it. With a massive chapter count, the story favors an episodic structure with a standout focus on vivid, bizarre character designs.
