On his first day at work, Gu Zhun committed the greatest taboo—he stared at Earth for a full minute. From that moment on, his world shattered. What appeared perfectly normal to others, the space stations were, in his eyes, a cannibalistic hell: In the pipes of Sector F, someone was using Morse code to call for help; the special steak in the cafeteria was made from the remains of a deceased colleague; behind the door of Sector H-99 lay the morning rush hour of 2024, where countless spirits were frantically rushing for the perfect attendance bonus. A black diary, decipherable only by a madman, became his only weapon. While everyone else cautiously followed the rules to survive, Gu Zhun, guided by that madman's diary, climbed from the lowest D-level to a B-level supervisor. It turned out the Deep Space Planning Bureau wasn't about exploring the universe; it was a giant oil press, extracting humanity's nostalgia and hopes for the old era.

    This is my first time seriously recommending books, but they are all truly excellent. (Please don't criticize if you don't like them) I gave all the books 5 stars. [Flying Kiss] (1) [Smirking] Two male leads, the protagonist is mentally ill and not human, seemingly a Narcissistic novel. He is simply the perfect protagonist in my mind. He can sacrifice for others but forget himself. (2) [Flying Kiss] The protagonist is great, gentle, and has the feel of a celestial being. Gradually becoming more like Di. (3) [Shy] The protagonist has a childlike personality, the plot may be a bit old, but the theme is novel. (4) [Laughing] The protagonist becomes a god in the end, his personality is annoying and he is a jerk. It seems to be a Narcissistic novel, but the main text doesn't describe it much.
