Remnants of Filth: Yuwu (Novel) Vol. 2 by Rou Bao Bu Chi Rou

challenging dark

for me the middle and thus most of this volume was so slow moving and boring and I felt that nothing of consequence happened that moved the story. We were mostly in the same place and some of the interactions between the 2 main characters at Xihe Manor were so stale for me. 
While it did have a lot to say about that inner turmoil of betrayal yet still feeling a kinship with that person who wronged you, and on morality and the worth of life of a criminal, vs a slave, and then a servant, the class exploration across those groups was interesting to think about. I still hold that for me, though it did have less smut which was a slay, it was also quite a lull for the most part from the first volume. But as always, the books end with a stellar cliff hanger and have the deeper laying mystery that hooks you into the next volume. 
I also really enjoy the translation, there are so many lines sprinkled that have the most lyrical and jaw dropping writing.
