I’m reading Turning and I love how Yuder is getting the babygirl™️ treatment from Kishiar. he just. does whatever and Kishiar backs him up. My subordinate starts a fight with a high ranking Knight? He wants me to ask the Emperor for a favor? He annoys yet another member of nobility? Simply cannot help but stan. I’d pay cash money to read all of these scenes from Kishiar’s perspective. This autistic badass twink just walked into his life, saves him once, and Kishiar is just. I Must Bully Him Into Becoming My Closest Ally. Obsessed.

Actual canon conversation
Kishiar: So what do you want to do?
Yuder: I want to save the world.
Kishiar: Cool. I mean, I'd support you even if you want world domination, but it's still cool if you only want to save it.

turning + sctir novel spoilers
i love Kishiyu but even if it's BL lite, I still much prefer Jinjae because of my bias. I'm not that big on soulmates. I much love the idea of the possibility of choosing to be who you could be. Jinjae wasn't "meant to be" as we saw in pre-regression but it could be. That, and I'm weak to SCTIR being about a simple desire to live ordinarily, AND Hyunjae giving giant alpha/top energy but is actually very soft inside and would knit hot pink garments for his partner while his honey would blow up his house. I love how they're both terrible and deserve each other.
But Turning definitely wins with its theme on regression. It's full of regrets and misfortune, how the first game was all about not having enough time. Time for Yuder to mature and adjust, time for Kishiar to live and show his ugly parts, and time for them to naturally trust each other. Turning really hits the spot of tragedy because of how common its subject is - unfortunate circumstances. If only first-game Yuder and Kishiar just had more time.

Turning by Kuyu
okay. I acknowledge the fact that I wasn’t expecting much when I started reading Turning. Just out of desperation since the manhwa was still at early stages and I ended up on the novel. I was kinda expecting disappointed (bad experience with to novels) and was sceptical about the absolutely humongous amount of chapters.
Even as I started reading it, it felt a little boring and slow paced (mostly due to being used to Fast and Furious(tm) in bl romance), but I gradually started to enjoy how Kuyu-nim developed their characters. In all the instances of reading novels, one thing had remained the same for me: not being able to remember the side-characters. Obviously, this time it was different. Even the most insignificant character showed development as the story progressed, something which I really loved and am wholly invested in. And soon enough I found that I started to crave for even more chapters to read. Finished 1/4th of the tl in two days, three weeks to catch up. Not a moment passed when I felt the need to drop it due to bad plot OR bad to (kudos to the translators).
I almost couldn’t believe it was omegaverse. The fetishisation of the a/b/o trope in many novels wasn’t present here. Then comes the world building. Like TOTCF, this novel has mages, swordsmasters and divine power users, along with the author’s personal inclusion of ‘awakeners’, all of which Kuyu-nim has masterfully balanced and structured.
That aside, the political intrigue in this novel has been a major highlight, since the mc’s and ml’s shenanigans in this sphere (especially ml’s) has been an absolute delight. While in the power sphere, the mc’s fights are engaging.
I could rant all day, but to all those who are apprehensive of starting reading this, lemme tell you I am 89% sure it’ll get famous when the manhwa catches up. Early readers gonna get the perks. Please, please read this novel. Show all your support, cuz in my humble opinion, I have stumbled upon a masterpiece I place right beside Little Mushroom in standards and way above mdzs, svsss and maybe even tgcf in comparison

"Then, I'll kiss you according to my conviction."
How is anyone supposed to be normal after reading that sentence. What the fuck. This entire confession scene is out of the world good. The kiss!!! Bonkers.

Do you think Kishiar experiences cuteness aggression whenever Yuder is being effortlessly adorable? Like when he will finish his fifth plate of cream cake and still deny liking sweets? Or when he is so dazed by some new information Kishiar gave him that he starts repeating Kishiar's words?
