I read the webtoon adaptation first, then I saw many commenters said that this is a slow burn but very worth the wait, so I checked out the webnovel version.Truly the best BL webnovel I've read so far. I was deterred when I saw it's more than 1000 chapters and still ongoing, but it is very well written. It's indeed slow-burn, but the subtle acts will keep you going. And when it finally burns, it burns.The characters are lovable. Yes Yuder has prior knowledge and experience since he came back from future, but he also still analyzes based on the real facts and take decision from there. He have encountered some people who did him bad in the past, but he didn't blindly judge them as his enemy. He also noticed that what he remembered might be not complete, thus he would always think and take action logically. Spoiler
Well, almost every time, except when it related to certain "trinket".
[collapse]The author does a great job at showing, not explaining. I can feel not only Yuder, but Kishiar is also very smart and cunning. The author also showed although both are very skilled and clever, their stream of thought and action are different. They might reach to same conclusion, but from different starting point.One of my favorite things about Turning is also there are a lot of "real" problems they need to solve, so they settle feelings issues quickly. Kishiar and Yuder understood their feelings, emotions, and desire, so we readers are spared from ridiculous mountain of chapters of our couple fight over some misunderstanding, or pondering if they should go out or not. Kishiar is your typical nobleman with eloquent tongue. I've to admit some of his lines still brought goosebumps, but they were sincere, so those still felt sweet.Yuder and Kishiar are indeed very strong, but they are still evolving as the story goes; which make this story even more interesting.If you're up for a ride, Turning will not disappoint you.
