I love backrooms stories. But, in this one I was reading a guy is trapped in this place like a massive abandoned starship, with signs that it was once a war zone.
"The door closed. There was no way for him to get back. But, don't worry! He still had some internet access. We have been able to send him books and games."
That the FIRST concern of the author was that the guy might get bored without any books or games is hilarious (and relatable) to me.

I also love weird spaces stories/scenarios in general. Or stories about places that suggest a different purpose, but that now is unclear (or maybe deceptive).In some of them the spaces aren't even reality-defyingly weird per se. Just perplexing or awe inspiring.
A few that come to mind:
J.G. Ballard's "Report on an Unidentified Space Station" - No one is "trapped", but they gradually succumb to the mystique of a weirdly mundane place:

BLAME!
I've only seen the one anime movie, but the manga looks visually interesting.The premise seems to be that something about humans changed subtly and the machines that worked for them decided humans were squatters to be eradicated.
After this, the construction machines just started building on arbitrary styles and scales, as if obeying the letter of architectural principles but ignoring the spirit of them.

2/x@PTR_K @futurebird Most of tsutomo niheis Manga works edge along these lines. In biomega the megastructure comes into existance after the postapocalyptic earth becomes unlivable. Abara features a similar dystopic world inhabited by strange, ancient buildings of obscure purpose.
