The series as a whole is great. But sadly the final volume is one of the most underwhelming ones. The main story mostly gets wrapped up in a confrontation that's very exposition heavy, monologue heavy and not super satisfying. 

I do like the way most of the character arcs end though. 

About half of the book is various bonus stories taking place all over the chronology. Some of these are cute, some are **spicy** but really, most of them are pretty skippable and do not add all that much.

If the ending of the series had been included in the last volume it likely wouldn't have felt as rushed but as is the pacing felt off since it picked up right were volume 4 ended.  I am a bit salty about 

the Nie clan head dude being the puppet master instead of Zewu-jun since it's a reveal that ends up meaning nothing in the grand scheme of things whereas if Lan Zhan's brother was the baddie it could have gone in a more interesting and compelling direction.

...  Oh well.

Since the majority of this volume was extras that is what the rating I am giving will reflect.  Some of them were fine but I was not expecting the horny smut escapades that occurred and the rape-y vibes were prevalent in the non/dub-con scenes.  There was some domestic bliss I suppose but even that felt like a superficial means to get them back in bed.

DNF at 50% (incense burner chapter), liked the ending of the story, confession was subpar, extras are terrible and I wish they hadn’t been included
