   Aside from the protagonist's somewhat overly generous character setup at the beginning, everything else is flawless. Currently serialized at two million words, this book avoids clichés. Everyone is intelligent, the writing style is humorous, and it's a clean and straightforward book, free of toilet humor. Set in 1953, it features a rigorous and logically sound portrayal of a powerful industrial nation. There's no hostility; the protagonist, seemingly a saint, is actually calculating and manipulative. It avoids simplistic black-and-white characterizations, presenting a protagonist with a grand vision, a deep concern for his country, and clear goals. He quietly dedicates himself using his advanced knowledge, while the courtyard disputes are merely background.
