In the game's comment section, besides people finding the game content hilarious and leaving various witty comments, there are also in-depth analyses of the game's content.

"There's a saying that 'the core of comedy is tragedy,' and this game, 'Tedious Life,' is exactly like that. It uses an exaggerated and absurd form to portray the lives of the wealthy, making people think deeply after laughing.

For example, the scene with the sales champion and the runner-up. The runner-up is rewarded in front of the champion, and the champion is sent to take out the trash. This repeated and deliberate teasing of the employee's emotions is just to see the forced smile on his face. Many of the boss's actions may be meaningless, but the employees take them seriously because that's their life."

"After playing this game, although I couldn't help but laugh because these plots are indeed absurd and funny, after laughing, I thought to myself that in life, I'm not the protagonist but a low-level ordinary employee, just like those employees in the protagonist's company who serve the plot. They would be happy for half a day because of a casual word of encouragement from the boss, be full of energy for the salary increase promised by the boss, and feel terrible for half a day because of a scolding from the boss, even feeling overwhelmed and wanting to cry. Thinking like this, I can't laugh anymore."

"Because of competing with drinking buddies over wealth, an employee is casually transferred to Africa, making it difficult to see family; the blind date partner sees the Rolex and immediately changes attitude from slow to fawning, running to the bathroom to touch up makeup, not eating the chive buns, showing her best side; letting the child of a childhood friend wear a Rolex for a minute, he is so grateful that he wants to kneel, finding it hard to forget that he once wore a Rolex, and even wants to tell this story to his grandson when he is old. Is the plot in the game absurd? No, it's very real, and reality is even more real and cruel than the game."

"Successful comedies have a tragic core, and I think 'Tedious Life' has achieved that."

"When I played this game, my eyes really stung, and I resonated with it a lot. The most impressive scene is when the protagonist invests in a barbershop to relieve boredom. Such a capricious act of the rich is a life-changing event for the person being invested in: 'When he goes home, he will definitely whistle, run and jump, cook two of his signature dishes, pour a glass of bulk liquor, and happily tell his wife, who calls her mother, tearfully saying that her initial choice was right.'

When I first applied for a job, even though it was the height of summer, I still wore a suit and tie every day, meticulously, and said that I wasn't tired or bitter, just to leave a good impression on the leader.

Once, the leader said that he needed a PPT for next week's meeting and asked me to do it. I was so happy that I thought it was an opportunity to show myself. I checked information and worked on it every day after work, staying up until two or three in the morning. After a week of hard work, I finally made a satisfactory PPT, but the leader casually said that the meeting had changed and it was no longer needed. Just like that, my week of hard work was wasted. And what could I say? I forced a smile and said it was nothing.

So, seeing the exaggerated actions of the characters in the game, and even the scenes where they are so excited that they want to kneel for a small favor, I don't find it absurd at all, but rather very real.

Maybe everyone is laughing when they play, but I can't laugh much. If I laugh, who am I laughing at? Am I laughing at myself?"

"It's okay, cook two signature dishes and pour a glass of bulk liquor, and you can forget the unpleasant memories."

"Everything will get better."

"It's been a long time since I've played a game as profound and meaningful as 'Tedious Life'! Usually, I just play games without commenting, but today I really can't help but want to write a review to express my uneasy mood.

First of all, the locations where the game's plots take place are very familiar to people, such as offices, roadsides, restaurants, and other scenes that can be seen everywhere in life, so it won't make people feel strange, but will feel close to their own lives, naturally creating a sense of immersion.

And the game's various absurd and unrestrained plots, and the characters' illogical ways of doing things, are also reasonably explained through the dream method.

Although the details of the game are not very exquisite, such as most of the items in the office are purely decorative, cannot be interacted with, and have no explanation, and although there are many employees, if you look closely, they basically look like a fixed few, typing on the keyboard at their workstations, and only a dozen or so can trigger the plot, but the other content of the game is enough to make people ignore these flaws.

The exaggerated expressions on the characters' faces when the plot is triggered are not criticism. I think this is done very well. For example, the protagonist's mysterious smile, the boredom of wanting to doze off when he is bored, the joy and gratitude of the employees when they are praised, and the dazed shock, forced smile, and tragic grief when they are teased. These exaggerated expressions also give me a sense of empathy. I must praise the game's artist here.

And the game's plot is very simple. As the game title 'Tedious Life' suggests, the content is all about the protagonist's tedious daily life. For example, a boring Monday, randomly firing one of the top ten employees; partying with drinking buddies, sending employees to Africa out of spite; giving a hooligan who bumped into him a well-paid car washing job; recruiting his childhood goddess into the company and giving her a cleaning job, and so on. Afterwards, he sighs at his rich and capricious behavior, feeling 'fulfilled and gratified,' and finally complains, 'The life of the rich is so simple, unadorned, and tedious.'

The protagonist doesn't have many drinking buddies. Their common ground is that they wear a Rolex, a symbol of wealth, and their ways of having fun are also similar. The other losers each have their own misfortunes. Their blindness and failure become the source of happiness for the rich, and the two objects form a sharp contrast.

The protagonist can throw employees to Africa at will like pinching ants, and the employees are grateful for some small favors from the protagonist, or even unintentional acts. It has to be said that this is extremely ironic.

Now many novels shout 'My life is up to me, not up to heaven,' and 'Don't bully the young and poor, thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river,' which are also very popular with readers. This game uses exaggerated and absurd plots to reflect the hidden reality. In most cases, the struggle of grassroots people is actually only a small degree of improving their situation, and the casual actions of the rich may change a person's fate.

But no matter what, everyone who strives hard for life should be respected.

I give 'Tedious Life' a score of 12!"

This long review also attracted many likes and replies.

"That's right, everyone who strives hard for life should be respected."

"I feel like your analysis is too exaggerated. There's no such deep meaning."

"I think it makes sense. Maybe you need to have some social experience to understand the deep meaning."

"Even if you don't consider these, 'Tedious Life' is already very successful as a funny game. At least I kept laughing when I played it."

"楼主，你知道的太多，可以去非洲支教了。(You know too much, you can go to Africa to teach.)"

"You want me to go to Africa and I'll go to Africa, wouldn't that be very embarrassing?"

"Wang Jian: I didn't even think so much, I just wanted to make a funny game!"
