Reborn: I’m a Wage Slave in Journey to the West

[Hilarious Comeback + Journey to the West Office Politics + Survival Guide for Overworked Employees]

Chen Mo stayed up all night gaming and was accidentally electrocuted. He was reborn in the world of Journey to the West as Marshal Tianpeng, Zhu Bajie... in his childhood!

Bound to the infuriating [Journey to the West 996 System], he gets assigned tasks like taking the blame for Heaven, writing performance reports, and serving as Tang Sanzang's bodyguard. Refuse, and he gets electrocuted or forced to perform a demonic dance!

From then on, the pilgrimage takes a bizarre turn:

Guanyin uses an electronic voice with a Sichuan accent to chase everyone about their KPIs, while the tightening headband is a tamper-proof “clock-in system” for keeping the plot on schedule;

Sun Wukong smashes a monster with his staff, and Tang Sanzang scolds him: “Do those eighty-one trials count as overtime, or can we take comp time?”

Chen Mo uses a fire extinguisher to tackle the blaze at Guanyin Monastery, teaches Gao Village how to get rich with A Guide to Postpartum Care for Sows, and moonlights mediating labor disputes among Heaven's temp workers. The Black Bear Spirit stole the kasaya just to get a permanent position? Sha Wujing has been waiting so long for a job offer that he's going bald!

When Journey to the West meets the overworked office drone, merit is a paycheck and monsters are coworkers. Chen Mo's goal is to...

Overturn the blessed misery of the pilgrimage and earn himself a permanent position in Heaven!
