   The first book is the pinnacle of early, normal officialdom fiction, considered the progenitor of the genre. It features no rebirth, no system, and lovers. The second book, written by a female author using an outline provided by her husband, has a unique twist; the lovers are all consummated in dreams [smirk]. The third book isn't a wish-fulfillment story. Although it occasionally features ambiguous relationships, it's one of Tomato's rare realistic portrayals of officialdom. From beginning to end, the protagonist is a section-level cadre, offering an observer's perspective on the daily dynamics of officialdom.
