Such a beautiful novel. It has one of the best world buildings, character grow (no only the MC but each character even some you'd think you'll never read about them again are never forgotten and come back in a logical way, just wonderful), and romance (the way Yuder learns little by little about his feeling and how to express them and to love Kishiar in his own way it's just fantastic).

Honestly, I totally recommend it.

Turning is what made me start to read more web-novels. The story has an interesting plot unlike some other stories which just focus on the romance without any development to the storyline.

I'm not the greatest fan of slow-burns but recently because of this novel I think I'm going to start enjoying them. Do not be discouraged to read this because of negative reviews of how the ML is a manipulative person, or how Yuder is too daft etc...

There are some comments complaining about "false tags"like smut. If you were to... more>> actually observe there is also a slowburn tag.

As mentioned before, this is a slowburn and the first development to their relationship is about ch 200 where they kiss.

The ML mentioned/ slightly revealed his feelings in ch 30-40. If all you're here for is smut then this is not the novel for you. <<less

First thing first, if you are the type that cannot stand slow burn and prefer something straightfoward and fast pace one, then this story is not for you. Like, really, does the 900+ chapters put on the description says nothing about this novel?

Second, I really like the development of MC and ML relationship. The pace of it is just nice. Not to forget the character development of MC and his relationship with other characters. The other characters are interesting as well. And what's more, the fighting scenes, personally, I like... more>> how it was written, it's not boring as my I am an impatience type. I cannot think anymore elaboration since other comments has put great elaboration about this novel. Waiting for more. <<less

Genuinely the best thing I’ve read in a while. I love all the characters even if they suck (kiolle). All of the characters are 3D and believable. I just wish there were more translated chapters so I can binge to my hearts content lol. Kishiar is a green flag and I love the interactions between Yuder and him. A must read 👍

ITS SO GOOD.

IMO the only downsides or flaws this novel has is the amount of chapters scaring away potential readers (If they arent into reading more than 200 ch's) and Yuder's lack of EQ (but thats ok mehehehhhe)

How is this novel not more popular?? HOW. I'm honestly shocked.

Truly a delightful tale. Many of the reviews here already said a lot of what I would have wanted so I'll just add some points to those unsure if it's a story worth your time.

Don't let the number of chapters scare you. I tend to be wary of overly long novels since they tend to drag on but this is not the case. The author manages to make the story flow in such a way that you don't feel the... more>> length. I found myself at chapter 100 surprised as to how fast I got there without any notice.

Additionally, some of the inconsistencies you might notice in the plot at the beginning are things that the characters will also start to notice and wonder about, so a lot of them are intentional.

The story is so good I'm actually going to mtl the rest of the story (even though the translator is doing an incredible job, but with this many chapters it takes a while) <<less

I love this so much!

I'm invested. It's the type of story, where you just sit down and binge it in one go. I hate that I didn't find this later lmao, now I gotta wait for more chapters.

I like the fact, that the MC isn't omniscient, he doesn't know of things he didn't know in his past life. He also acts according to his mental age and experiences in his last life, which sadly isn't the case in a lot of novels imo. The plot is interesting and at no... more>> point (at least till now) did I force myself to continue reading, just to get through the current plot line. I like the pacing a lot.

The dynamic between the ML and the MC is also super cute, the ML is an extroverted playful type and the MC is rather quiet and calm. Only the ML can stirr him up inwardly sometimes. The combination is super funny XD. The other characters are also fleshed out, they don't just exist for a few chapters and disappear.

(Oh, and the translation is great too!)

All in all, I think this is a high quality novel, definitely worth a try! :3 <<less

First of all, I highly recommend this Novel. I didn't have any expectations to read this initially since I came straight from Manhwa's 19th chapter. But turns out what? This is one of the best BL novels out there! All the hype is usually about the red flags or toxic relationships, it was the same even for me but after reading this I highly appreciate good couple with a healthy relationship. The ML is literally the biggest green flag I've ever seen, greener than a forest. The story isn't boring... more>> and the MC is Clever, even the ML and the other characters have their own intelligence with ML being the most smartest of all. You may think the MC is overpowered initially but don't worry, His ability to use his powers gets knocked down one way or another keeping things thrilling but not to the point of frustration. It is really slow burn but I didn't even really notice since the chapters are not that long (sadly, or its just my perspective).

After their first kiss at chapter 200, it's smooth though. The moments of them trying to sneak some time to be together is especially sweet (you will know what I mean if you just read it)

The smut in the very further chapters are also one of the best I've read considering I read alot. Trust me, you will not be disappointed if you read this novel.

The only con I see in this novel is the cover though ;-;

Manhwa artstyle is more appealing, if not for that, if I'm being honest... I would've never read this masterpiece of a novel. Art matters, sadly in some cases. Them in the Novel cover... well, to put it mildly it's the faces and MC's hair that's messed up. Everything else is fine tho

I really hope that one day they will change the cover to something more appealing, I'm not saying this to be rude or anything but because I really, really love this novel and to get it more popular, this is only thing that needs to be changed. <<less

This novel is about a regressor, who was executed in his previous life for treason while trying to figure out the source of the calamities facing the world. This novel can be described as a romance novel at it's core. However, what sets it apart is the setting and the story that the MC finds himself in.

The world depicted in this novel is not unfamiliar to those who enjoy fantasy settings. However, the author is able to delve deep into such a world, and truly bring it to life. There... more>> are complex magic systems that each have their rules and limitations. The rich setting immerses the slowly eases the reader into the world and creates a hunger for the reader to understand the underlying mysteries along with the protagonists.

Similarly, the world of men, rife with politics, is neither too simple nor overly complex. Each faction, with its set of motivations and strengths, naturally fits with the world we are introduced to without creating extra drama or extended detours from the main plot. I really enjoyed the intrigue and the mysteries - it's always a joy to see how our protagonists handle the situation they find themselves in. I like that not every problem can be solved with a battle or overwhelming force. Oftentimes, a smile or clever alliances and making the right friends at the right times can be just as potent. Characters are just as likely to utilize laws and the court systems to extract justice as they are likely to fight a battle or participate in a duel. The story is constantly keeping the reader on their toes as to how a situation might unfold.

My biggest gripe is with the power levels in this world.
Spoiler

MC is arguably OP. He's the strongest awakener is 10 years ahead of the curve on awakened powers. Not to mention, he is a regressor, and knows the future and has developed an in depth understanding of all the most important events that will occur due to his position as the Commander of the Calvary in his past life.

ML is the strongest person in the world by far by being a mage, divine power weilder, swordmaster, awakener, and royalty - all rolled up into one. Not to mention super hot and devoted to MC.

When the emperor is the ML's older brother and is the leader of the strongest organization, most political problems are pretty trivial. Anything that can be solved by force can be easily handled by the world's top 2 strongest individuals. And with Yuder's knowledge of the past, they've assembled a merry band of extremely useful people.

It's hard to stay invested in a story that doesn't have any possible problem that isn't trivial to solve.

[collapse]

Overall, other than the issue of issues being too easy to resolve by the MC and ML, the story is cute and well done. I would highly recommend it. <<less

One of the best BLs I've ever read. Usually, I'll get fatigued from reading the same story for a long period of time but I have not set this novel down at all.

The plot itself is very simple but complicated. It's simple because MCs overall goal isn't clear but makes the reader assume that he just wants a better future. And the MCs goal wasn't clear to the reader because MC is also figuring out what he wants as an ends tate without realizing it. The character growth MC goes... more>> through is almost like a 2nd coming of age story for him. As the plot thickens, MC not only deals with issues that he's seen from his previous life but actively grows and learns internally that I think most authors try to strive for.

MCs relationship with the ML isn't a smooth ride, in a good way! The issues from the previous life does and does not hamper their growing attraction to each other. MC does a good job in separating the past and present ML good but there's a realistic mental block that prevents MC from truly connecting with the ML at the beginning. But when it's slowly lifted, it's an absolute beautiful love story.

Nothing about the story feels forced. That's the best part of this story. Even when obvious secrets are in the way, there's no irrational reactions from anyone that's not justified.

Spoiler

This a a slow burn yall. The MC and ML won't get together until about 300 chapters in. But it's so worth the wait.

Ironically enough, I want to say it's less that a year with 600+ chapters in. So it's almost like an extended Romeo and Juliette with how fast and slow this story is.

Not updating where I'm at because I check the page almost everyday. Thank you translator-nim!!!

Tldr: As long as you don't mind slow burn BL, I 1000% recommend.

I love this series.

... more>> Yes, it's a spicy BL novel.

Yes, it's slow burn.

Yes, it's filled with action and plot.

I love it!

Pros:

  • Good plot
  • Well thought out characters
  • Great translation
  • The plot and romance is quite balanced out (imo)
Cons:

  • Slow burn (not everyone likes it, but me love it)
  • On-going (as of march 2024)
  • Omegaverse (like slow burn, some people hate this but not me. Imo this setting isn't getting used much between the couple until... *Coughs600+* so it is totally ok)
I find hard to find cons because I love this book so much, and I probably have rose tinted glasses on but this book is great ♡⁠ (⁠Ӧ⁠v⁠Ӧ⁠。⁠)

Just pure speculation but (proceed with caution)

Spoiler

I think there will have malepreg elements either towards the end or side stories. I'm honestly waiting the author to prove me wrong but so far... I have seen some flags raised. I wanna see children between them (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠)

[collapse]

The dynamic between Yuder and Kishiar is great, and it's super slow in terms of romance. It's more of a plot development story than a romance filled stories you often read amongst the other BL and it's just sooo good! (⁠。⁠・⁠ω⁠・⁠。⁠) ⁠ノ⁠♡

I personally don't think I can add more than what others have written so, I definitely recommend! <<less

I just started reading this after reading the newly adapted manhua no merely than a week ago, I truly liked the plot right from the start and then I saw some of the comments that it is an adaptation from a novel, and that it was a slow-burn romance. Right then and there I searched for the novel, tried registering to korean apps but failed because there was no way I could get a korean approval code, searched again until I found this. And viola, I catched up so fast... more>> I'm looking forward to the upcoming updates! I LOVE THIS SO MUCH I AM TRULY EMOTIONALLY INVESTED IN THISSSSSSS <<less

My expectations for this story died the second the perfume chapter appeared and it was obvious that this is yet another of those tr*sh Korean BLs where MC is a virg*n bottom secretly yearning and getting hurt by a rubbish manhoe top ML who will screw anything that moves.

And yeah, I've read the story outline and the spoilers that a lot of it is just for reputation, but the story doesn't say that all his womanising was a lie and he's very experienced. In addition to that, ML does his... more>> own thing and never tells MC anything important, which leads to MC experiencing over a decade of mental pain and anguish, and self-blame. He never really shields MC in situations he needs to either (like in the first life, where them sleeping together gets revealed early and people look down on MC for sleeping his way in). So, despite his attractive design and the fact that I love blonds, ML in this book is a complete scumbag romance-wise. And without romance, I would rather spend my time on a different book that offers a more interesting plot.

Oh, and of course, MC here, despite the rebirth cheat, is always 2d place to ML because goddess forbid would they make an omega bottom actually superior in anything. He knows less than ML despite living a second life, he is still less skilled/powerful than ML, and of course he has absolutely zero political influence or money. In this life he is actually worse off in terms of conventional standing because he isn't even a commander but he really is just MLs shadow who doesn't have any particular interests or goals of his own that have nothing to do with ML or saving the world (and the second is also heavily related to ML). <<less

It's such a beautiful story, I just I can't you know? The slow burn sensation of two main character developing a feelings for each other. How warm every step of their relationship is feeling for me as a reader. I highly recommend it. Two new characters per day. ML is a huge green flag, MC is a slowpoke, but still not denying his own feeling. The beautiful relationship development. Muah 💋 thank you

Love it! No boring moments, tho it took me quite a while to read all available chapters. The MC is ok, quiet bland tbh. ML greatly reminds me of Sung Hyunjae from The S-Classes That I Raised. Both tall, blond and a freaking flirt. 😂 Btw, this is slow burn. Like super slow. I'm already in chapter 167, and the only 'intimate' (if you can even call it that) part is ML tying MC's belt, and the princess carry. Lol

Read all the available translated chapters in less than a day, then immediately proceeded to create a ridibooks account and apply for 19+ access within the next hour of finishing. You can take from that what you will.

While I feel a suspension of belief for the MC and story setting is absolutely required, the plot overall is interesting enough that I don't pay as much attention to how ridiculously OP the MC is and certain plot holes. Like I wanna know so bad how MC and ML get together (and... more>> why it's rated 19+ on ridibooks kekekekek). I'm really enjoying watching the MC unravel mysteries he didn't know from his past, watching him slowly but surely changing his future, and having a good chuckle over his interactions with the rest of the Cavalry and with the ML.

Spoiler

He's just so bewildered why people are treating him nicely and familiarly because it didn't happen to him in the past. As far as I can tell, the story has him set up as a bit of a unreliable narrator, but you're given enough hints and other POVs to realize what's going on.

[collapse]

But yeah going back to suspension of belief, I just really don't understand some parts of the setting; ABO, ability awakening, medieval fantasy, and then throwing in some regression. It's certainly among the more unique story settings I've ever seen, but there's just some parts where I basically go, wait a sec, what?

Spoiler

One of them being just how, well, special the MC is. In his previous future, he's the only omega in the Cavalry, and the leader and being known as the most powerful Awakener basically. Apparently, pretty much all other omegas are basically sold into s*avery for the rich and powerful and treated as s*x toys. MC is the sole exception because he for some reason doesn't have pheromones that other people can smell or something, so heats were a much less issue than other omegas.

Like... it just seems so singular to the MC, I don't know why the author didn't just give omegas overall a better situation. If only ability awakeners can get a second gender, than why haven't there been any omegas fighting back against their treatment? Surely at least one other one has to have awakened a decent ability that can fight back against non-powered humans. I'm hoping this will be better explained or explored in future chapters.

Don't even get me started on the MC's abilities. Ability to wield any weapon, and the ability to wield anything from nature. Forget all the usual things like manipulating fire and water and all that, he can make things like heavy rocks as light as a feather with just a touch, manipulate swords like with telekinesis (because its iron forged in fire which are both from nature?? I didn't really understand the reasoning behind it), and he can't get drunk because alcohol is just water and grain spirits which are both natural so he's not affected by the negative effects of it.

Apparently his only weakness basically is anything unnatural, like monster tendons and magic bred horses. He can get drunk off monster blood, which is usually super poisonous to people. I'm still so baffled over his abilities like it's insane what he can do. Everyone else's abilities kinda pale in comparison.

[collapse]

Though again, the story, character interactions, and character depth so far are really good which definitely makes me forget or not care about the small bits of the setting that confuses me. Can't wait to read more! <<less

I don't know how to describe it, but it's like the author gathers all the popular troupe and uses it to make a story completely unlike any other works (positively), well obviously that's how you make a story compelling, but this one is on another level imo.

Sometimes you find a bl with a level of seriousness so high that it lacks any charm, or a bl under 100 chapters with a straightforward plot, with smut and some comedy, y'know like same things different fonts, you read it till the end... more>> in some aggregate sites, finish it, satisfied with the ending (or not), put it in some rec list and that's it, you might or might have not forget it completely.

But Turning is a nice balance between those two. There's enough of a serious plot, but there's some lighthearted and wholesome moments too, and the smut is top notch, maybe because it's slowburn that the smut became very satisfying, and even if there's rarely any smut for a long time, the simple act of talking to each other is more than enough to fill my heart, because I already know how deep they love each other, emotionally or physically.

The thing that differentiate Turning the most is the massive plot that stretches to thousands of chapters yet still doesn't deviate from the original goal, consistent and lacks any plot hole either, and the way the author executes it is perfect *chef kiss*, one saga typically consist of 120 chapters in the shortest and more than 350 at the longest, it's like going to an adventure of our own!

Spoiler

of bringing down the hostile duke one by one and replacing it with their children who's friendly to the cavalry (because the Cavalry also helped and support them defeat their fathers), and in turn the dukedom become more loyal or at least neutral to the Emperor faction, which is our MC/ML faction bcs Emperor is ML older brother

[collapse]

There's a mix of characters from diverse background that aren't completely cardboard cutout, in fact all of them have important role of their own, no excessive writing that serves no purpose, and the world building fall on the upper lower scale.

The only downside I can think of... sometimes it can drag a bit? Like there's some mini arc or an interlude before or after a major arc, around 10-40 chapters, sometimes I just wish it'd get over to the main content.

The main characters were also one of the driving force in this story that makes it soo good, the other reviewers already point it out better, so just trust me when I say this couple is the most entertaining to read, in terms that they are mature adults and all of the possible unnecessary love drama doesn't exist so they can proceed to solve the main plot, which is to save the world and prevent everyone from dying.

And I also want to point out, that despite the normality of having s*x between couple in rl, idk why many author treats it like something super special and just write it once in a blue moon, but Turning isn't like that, we get to see their s*x life progress normally like any other couple, they always find the time to do it despite their packed schedule, it start slow (in concern of the MC) but once they're use to it they definitely doesn't shy away from the act of making love (esp in Yuder case), because it felt good to each and the other person, and as a way of showing their feelings, I really appreciate that from the author.

I can not express it fully bcs English is not my first language, but I just love this story and it deserves every stars it can get <3 Please support the author by buying chapters from Ridibook if you can :) <<less
