A review by sisa_moyo
Remnants of Filth: Yuwu (Novel) Vol. 5 by Rou Bao Bu Chi Rou

This was such a slog to get through. For about 50% of the book nothing new or interesting happened, it was just Guxi being Guxi instead Mang being experimented on. Then it was a war I didn’t care about for a Chonghua I didn’t particularly care for in the name of an emperor I could care less about. 
It was very lukewarm for me, nothing especially enthralling happened, and even though there’s only 2 volumes left I’m strongly considering DNFing this. 
The characters now feel stagnant, and the plot too stretched out to be held together by any thick plot across all the volumes, such that each book feels like filler words for volume 7.
