The Order Official

The score is out! I'll give myself five stars. I'll write slowly and take my time, hoping to make more progress.

This book is well-written. The overall narrative serves the plot, rather than focusing on any single character. The romantic relationships are not limited to love; they encompass national duty, sibling bonds, and the instinct to protect others—not necessarily one's lover, but someone who represents a shared past. The female lead is also incredibly strong and charismatic.

Having read books for 15 years, this is truly a rare gem of a work by Tomato (the author), a high-quality piece that I couldn't bear to see hidden. So, I wrote these words late at night. The most moving aspect of *The Official* is the suffering of all beings in a chaotic world.

I've read the author's first two books and am currently on their third. It's clear the author's writing has improved significantly, as has the plot. The author has always excelled at writing ensemble novels, leaving a deep impression on the supporting characters in each book.

This book is plot-driven, a style common in novels from many years ago, making this a rare example of a seasoned author. Today's young people focus on romance, neglecting plot; online romance novels offer quick monetization, so many young writers have become accustomed to fast-paced, concise plots, high-energy moments, and extreme levels of sweetness or angst.

Upon first seeing the ailanthus tree of Nanshan, "Slaying Spring" was already a completed work; upon seeing it again, "The Commander" had already set a trend. Nanshan, you freely forge your words, and I will surely follow closely behind, watching your masterful writing, watching you build dreams with flying blossoms...

I'm rating this early so I don't lose interest in writing it after it's finished [Note]. Although the new story has only been running for three days, and the events, clues, and characters' backstories haven't been fully developed, I can already foresee the heartbreak in "The Official" from the descriptions of Yu Shiyi and Qi Yanzhen in the synopsis.

It's great! The writing is excellent, the plot and style are both superb; the author is very talented. The ensemble cast is also very interesting. The only painful part is seeing Tianxiang and Xin Sanniang forced into relationships; it's very upsetting and frustrating. While it fits the chaotic world setting, these moments are quite heartbreaking.

I love reading these long, intriguing political novels. This one's already over 600,000 words, and it's simply not enough for me. It feels like the end of the Golden Banquet was just the first chapter, and this is the second. The power struggles and upheavals are only just beginning to unfold. The plot is excellent; everyone has their own mission, and the character development is superb.

Tomato rarely writes purely in the ancient style, without time travel or rebirth as cheat codes. The author's writing is really good, and the plot is very engaging, but following the updates is too tiring; I'll have to wait a while before reading. A 7.7 Rating is too low and doesn't do justice to this story; the author's writing style and ingenious plot deserve 9.5 Or higher.
