Since The Last Immortal is the sequel to the drama Ancient Love Poetry they indeed have similarities in many ways..
One of the biggest similarities between the two series is that The Last Immortal focuses on the journey of Yuan Qi, the son of the Two True Gods: Bai Jue and Shang Gu in the Ancient Love Poetry. So like in The Last Immortal, Ancient Love Poetry also explores themes of love, loyalty, and duty, while featuring a world rich in magic and intrigue.
But if you ask me, of course, the Ancient Love Poetry is my personal favourite!

both have the same style of story where the lead roles are willing to protect their loved ones by fighting against the entire world for them. inspite of death their loved ones they try to gather their spiritual essence and are again born. there are misunderstandings in both stories that cause a lot of hurt but when things get resolved their bond get even more stronger
Both dramas are supernatural fantasy. The characters of both will also make ammends to their love ones from the pain they caused their lovers. Many mythical creatures are also present in these dramas.
They have the same genre (xianxia, wuxia), romance, and fantasy. The characters includes immortals with sects/clans. They are also on a quest to retrieve a goal.
Moonlight Mystique was adapted from the novel written by the same author of The Last Immortal, and high chance that they are in the same universe. (Note: ¡they are not sequels or prequels!)
In both:
- In the first half, the main male character is much more powerful than the main female character, many are opposed to their relationship due to the status difference
- There is an 'epic' feel of the romance as they are reincarnated multiple times, with our main hero learning to be more humble and not take the female lead for granted. There's lots of protectiveness and rescuing.
- Both have same levels of CGI and production values
Ashes of Love, however, one of my favourites. It is written much more efficiently - with the characters going through multiple adventures and lifetimes in the time it takes The Last Immortal to get through one plot point. Ashes of Love also has strong themes and compelling secondary plots around what true love means, sibling rivalry, and what is good and evil.
Most importantly - Ashes of Love also has greater emotional impact. As the main characters have so much screen time together, and go through so many up and downs, you genuinely cheer them on and are sad to leave their universe behind.
