A cursed prince.
If they could rewrite time, what would they do with such power?
This is the story of what happens when everything is overwritten.
Unnamed Memory is a story of encounter. A story of love. And a story of human conviction to do anything for the one they love.
The story is set in a medieval fantasy world. In this world, we have the protagonist, Oscar, a prince searching for a cure for a curse that made him unable to have an heir, for every woman will die if they bear his child. For this purpose, he ventured to a legendary azure tower, where a witch is supposedly live, and anyone who can climb to the highest part of the tower will have their wish granted by the witch. This is an encounter that soon will change their life and destiny…
Unnamed Memory stories is centered upon this relationship between Oscar and the witch, Tinasha. The story will be going to be unravelling the truth about the curse, their past, future, while showing the progress of their relationship with all the joy and grieve that they experience in their journey. At one point, they will realize the truth about their world, and all the past and future that revolve around them, but in the meantime, we can enjoy seeing Oscar trying his best to won Tinasha’s heart, lovely and interesting characters surrounding them, in an amazing world that is brought to life beautifully.
In most of fantasy/romance setting, there will be a strong protagonist that will protect and love their hero/heroine. Unnamed memory differs than its peer in this regard. Oscar is a handsome prince, a very strong swordsman, and the wielder of the legendary sword Akashia. On the other hand, we have the heroine, Tinasha, the Witch of The Azure Moon, hailed to be the strongest witch that existed, with an unparalleled beauty that can captivate everyone that gaze upon her. Their background made their behaviour around each other very interesting to watch. At one time, they will be seen very attached to each other, but at other time, they can show complete independence and confidence when doing their job. On most occasion, they will fight, laugh, flirt(?), and love each other as an equal. This equal supportive relationship is surprisingly rare to be found in a fantasy/romance series, so it really fills me with joy every time they interact with each other.
Unnamed memory is separated into some parts, called “Act.” Its not your usual “chapter” or section. Its more akin to new game plus in a game. Without spoiling more, this is the limit of what can be elaborated. But I can guarantee that this will provide a unique reading experience that you wont often see in this type of media.
Unnamed memory doesn’t have something that can be called a weak point for me, especially in a fantasy/romance trope. One thing I can nitpick about it is how I liked the first Act more than the rest. But the rest of the Act is explaining a lot of character and thing that doesn’t have much screen time in the first Act, and I also enjoying it, so it’s hardly a complain.
Unnamed memory is a story of love. A story of encounter. A story that tells us no matter how cruel destiny is, how many time have past, how many live has come and gone, love will traverse all. A story that tells no matter how many times it is need to try, you will find the place of your love. This is a story that tell us the beauty of an everlasting love that traverse time, space, and destiny itself.
“A desire to save the people we love, even if it goes against all logic, is an extremely common, extremely human emotion. Denying that would be tantamount to refuting our humanity.”
