Emily Higgelke-Brown: I watched the danmei before reading the novel and it was so refreshing to read the story and gain more familiarity with how the characters were feeling in certain moments. The author does a beautiful job describing the world and laying out the story so it makes it easier to follow :)

Eli: I first read the series back when only the first volume was officially translated, I’ve only ever read the fan translations and even with some of the clunkiness that came with it, it quickly climbed to the top as my favorite book series ever; even after having read MDZS and being convinced that nothing would ever top that.

Not only is the romance heart achingly beautiful but there’s an intricate plot that’s exciting and engaging, the backstory is introduced in small bursts until it weaves together into a gorgeous bigger picture. Throughout reading you go from a confused bystander with little context, to an omnipotent reader that’s infinitely attached to both main and side characters alike. it’s such an experience.

The main character xie lian is my favorite character period. Of all time. His inner monologue is witty and sarcastic with a splash of self deprication, though bashful at times, he can be startlingly, hilariously shameless. He’s multifaceted, well rounded, and throughout finding out more about him and his backstory, the more you will find yourself growing attached.

And gah the writing is just so beautiful. The tone has...

LtTawnyMadison: This review is mainly for those who are unfamiliar with the Chinese fantasy (xianxia) or BL (danmei) genres as a whole, like me. If you stumbled across this book because it's bestselling, but think you'll probably pass because these genres aren't "your thing," I encourage you to reconsider. It is a saga that transcends its genres the further you read. It is HUGE in Asia and quickly gaining traction globally, and is widely considered to be the best of its genre, and there's a reason for that! The story, characters, setting, and visuals (in the adaptations) are all fantastic.

SFF is my favorite genre, but second is classic literature, and this actually contains some elements of the latter, which most fantasy (at least Western fantasy) does not. Men can probably enjoy the story too because there is so much else going on and it's definitely fantasy, not primarily romance. I'm older than the typical audience for this and have read A LOT of books, and this has edged past my other favorite book, The Count of Monte Cristo--yes, I love adventure/drama epics! My only complaint with the book is with the writing style of the translation in the beginning, which I...

HartleyHartley: Like a lot of people here, I read the entirety of this series in an unofficial translation, and am elated to see that it's getting an English-language release. In short, all I can say is this: read it. It's been a year since I read it and I still can't get it out of my head - I reread my favorite parts of it all the time, and every single reread has me discovering something new. It's quite literally become my favorite book (and I've read a lot of books!)

The love story in this book is absolutely stunning. One of the biggest strengths of the book is the slow-burn aspect; when it starts, it gives you a certain impression - I remember thinking, I get it, it's going to be this-and-that kind of love story - but things are slowly revealed that give the relationship incredible depth, making me feel so much for the relationship in a way that I really haven't found in any other novel. This is really the kind of series that's even better on re-reads, because you can see just how much the author thought through her choices before getting to the reveals, and certain scenes become so much more haunting or heart-wrenching! And wow, the reveals - I definitely recommend...
