Description
Be still my beating heart, compete not with spring on blossoming forth; For what remains of every shred of longing, is a mere disheartened, ashen core. *** A brief glimpse over a thousand years ago, in exchange for a thousand years of love and suffering. When they reunited a thousand years later, it was still him, but he was no longer the same person. Should he let this love fade and turn to ashes, or let fate decide its course?

My Thoughts on Embers of Love
"Embers of Love" is a completed original xianxia novel currently undergoing translation, and I can certainly see why it's garnered attention. With its blend of drama, fantasy, historical elements, and yaoi romance, it promises a rich tapestry of storytelling. Let's delve into what I thought of it.
First Impressions
Right off the bat, I was drawn in by the promise of a love story set in ancient China, filled with gods and immortals. The "love at first sight" tag piqued my interest, hinting at a potentially compelling and perhaps even tragic romance. I went in expecting something beautiful and heart-wrenching, and that's pretty much what I got.
What Works Well
The novel excels in its evocative atmosphere. The writing style leans towards the poetic, painting vivid pictures of the celestial realm and the mortal world. It's the kind of story that lingers in your mind long after you finish reading a chapter. I found myself completely immersed in the world-building and the emotional depth of the characters. The short story format helps keep the story focused and avoids unnecessary tangents.
Areas of Concern
I can't say that I have any real concerns about the story itself, but I can see how the ongoing translation might be a barrier for some readers. The nuances of language can be lost in translation, particularly when dealing with poetic prose and complex cultural concepts.
Final Verdict
"Embers of Love" is a promising xianxia romance that delivers on its promise of a beautiful, albeit bittersweet, tale. If you're a fan of the genre and enjoy stories with rich atmosphere and emotional depth, I highly recommend giving it a try. Just be prepared for the potential challenges of an ongoing translation.
