A good end to the series. This book definitely earns its 18+ rating, though! Especially true in the earlier bonus stories - some of the later ones are kind of sweet, though. (I will probably skip the incense burner extra on rereads)

not sure what to do with myself now that it's over. I went in for a cute, gay romance, which I got to be fair (slow burn, childhood nuisances to lovers. what's not to love), but I also got this intricate plot, deep characters, commentary on second chances, courage, and other things I never expected here, all while being extremely funny somehow? easily one of my favourite series ever

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.
