One of the extra chapter is just rape and jokes about. I wish I could run myself over with truck so I don’t have to remember this. I should have seen this coming after what happened in volume 4. I will shame you if you pretend it didn't happen. Let's not cherry pick.

I feel like I must atone for reading this. I witnessed a crime being committed. I have now seen things I shouldn't. I feel like I should be put in jail. MXTX better be put in the same cell as me for making me go through this.

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

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!

it does have several scenes with dubious consensual between the main couple and the use of the word rape a couple of times so take that as a warning. The consent issue is resolved in the same chapter.
