The main story gets 3 stars. I still have big issues with the translation that honestly made it difficult to read. I had never heard of this series before I picked up the books, so maybe an already established fan would enjoy the books more than I did. The plot was interesting and I liked the main characters, I really just wish the translation had been better.
As for the extra stories that made up about 60% of the last book, I think I finished maybe 3 of them. The others I quickly skimmed or skipped, at this point I just wanted to be done. I don't consider it a DNF though since I finished the main story, the extras were indeed just extras.Some of the extra stories were very rapey, and they went a bit too far for my taste.
All in all, I'm glad I finished the series and the art throughout the books really is beautiful, the artist did an amazing job and I couldn't stop looking at all the pieces!

To be perfectly honest with you, this should be a 3.75 stars from me. I’m so disappointed in so many ways.
The only reason it gets a 4 stars is because of how much I love this series as a whole and as far as final books in a series go, the wrap up of the main story was great.
It was the extra chapters that let me down and they made up more than half of the book.
However the last two extra stories were what convinced me to put the rating back up. I think. I’m still considering it…
Take away some of the boring extra chapters and the chapters that literally? Included? romanticised sexual assault(?????????????????) then you’ve got yourself a brilliant novel, but I don’t think that’s something that I can just overlook or ignore.
Lwj and wwx will always have a special place in my heart and i’ll miss them in novel-form. I just wish I could erase my memory of the incense burner chapter. I’ve never felt so uncomfortable.
