    The entire story is told in the first person, so the immersion is extremely strong. When I first started reading, I unconsciously put myself in the protagonist's shoes, and I was so scared that I couldn't sleep for several nights (if you don't like first-person narratives, you can avoid this).

    Today's update, "The Guide to Slacking Off in the Underworld Customer Service Department," tells the hilarious daily life of Meng Xiaoqi, a customer service representative in the Underworld. After joining the company, he takes over the "Complaint Hotline for the Living World," handling all sorts of bizarre requests: Grandpa Wang complains about his replaced smart paper doll, Grandma Li dislikes the food in the Underworld cafeteria, and even ghosts complain about poor WiFi signal. As Grandma Li's square dance livestream goes viral, a livestreaming craze sweeps the Underworld: King Yama tops the donation charts with "Underworld Rockets," Zhong Kui learns to dance in his spare time from sword practice, and Meng Po (the goddess of forgetfulness) livestreams brewing "Forget-Me-Not Milk Tea." Meng Xiaoqi is promoted to livestreaming supervision director, handling disputes over donations in the living world and mediating amusing incidents among ghosts, such as Grandpa Wang's spicy snack review sparking complaints, and a popular livestreamer learning the true meaning of food under the guidance of a hungry ghost. In the story, the gloomy Underworld becomes a place full of warmth, where ghosts convey their longing for the living world through livestreams, and the living world's attachments are transformed into paper offerings. Horror elements are dissolved by laughter, showcasing the core message that death is merely another way of continuing life, and that love and memory can transcend the boundaries between life and death.
