Wow, fantastic, splendid. I never thought Kishiar, the man teased by Korean readers for being a 'eunuch' due to how cautious and patient he is toward Yuder, would be called 'manwhore' or 'womanizer' one day.I don't wish to offend anyone but, honestly I was surprised. I actually thought the trope of 'faking/pretending to be a womanizer to cover his real motives and talents' was already common enough to be called a cliche by now, but I guess it still raised some issues in the end. To people worrying about a bad ML— please don't worry, since Kishiar is the best ML you could ever ask for. Handsome, talented, mysterious, seemingly flirtatious but extremely caring and attentive, not to mention, he holds deep affection for Yuder in both lives? Now that certainly is perfect ML material.Yuder is strong, powerful and cold, but he's not without flaws or weaknesses. So Kishiar is a perfect match for him, and together, they fit like pieces of the same puzzle. As others also said, Turning is all about world-building, actions, and apart from the BL romance, it also emphasizes character growth and camaraderie. Romance wasn't the main focus at first, but we can still see the changes in their relationship gradually and steadily. Perhaps Turning won't be a good choice if you're seeking quick romance, but if you are fine with a fantasy-themed novel with a lot of other aspects (politics, power struggle, knighthood, power training and developing) explored, Turning is a perfect novel.... Although I do suggest stacking a bit before reading, since the novel is extremely long with no ending in sight as of now.
