    The first two chapters are a bit bland, but the third chapter onwards is excellent, depicting the intricacies of officialdom with great depth. The protagonist's written materials are particularly noteworthy, well-organized and clear. The author's skill in writing these materials is truly impressive, demonstrating considerable experience and expertise. It's a high-quality work. Many novels these days seem unconvincing at first glance, too amateurish; experts can easily spot the numerous flaws and contrived plots. This novel, however, is one of the most sophisticated works I've read so far—deep, insightful, and realistic. A classic.
