In the conversation from the opening chapter, after the protagonist had acknowledged being in a place beyond Japan's jurisdiction, the question was posed: "Where are you from?" "I'm from XX, in Japan."
It seems the protagonist is portrayed as not particularly astute or able to react naturally to situations, which could make for an engaging yet challenging reading experience. However, one can hope that the narrative might surprise with its unique take on things.
The next inquiry directed at the main character was: "What are your life goals or aspirations?" To which they replied: "To have an harem."
Based on this response, it appears the author's writing style or the protagonist's character development does not align with the reader's preferences. As a result, the reader expresses a strong desire to cease reading and dismiss the novel entirely.
I'm struggling to understand how the main character (MC), who was initially portrayed as utterly evil, can suddenly become a relatable and mistreated figure. The abrupt shift from his original storyline disrupts the immersion in the story for me. It feels like the author copied the premise of "The Main Heroines are Trying to Kill Me," but without putting in the effort to create a compelling narrative. The author glosses over crucial plot development, where the heroines learn the truth, solely to reach a climax that lacks depth and fails to impress. This rushed and poorly executed approach genuinely frustrates me.
Idk i read translate from korean
not read yet... still farming
Haha, what a hilarious moment! When the gong自行宣布自己为女王，就在朝廷上与大臣们争执后。哈哈，整个故事其实从标题就一目了然了...
It's a good day now. Before the update, it was about 1
Isn't this guy lancer in fate ?
Yeah, it’s really wholesome. It kinda reminds me of “Trash of the Counts Family” although the latters not a romance. The protagonist tries to pretend to not care about his loved ones and is trying to make the story go peacefully… not to mention they both try to pretend to be bad people.
Or I guess it’s counts family that reminds me of this since I read this first. Whatever.
So much potential. Rushed anyway, so it becomes intolerable in the end
one of the best novels I've read
the world online is good as well for world buliding
Wow, incredible, magnificent. I never imagined that Kishiar, the man often jestingly referred to as a "eunuch" by Korean readers due to his cautious and patient nature towards Yuder, would one day be labeled as a "womanizer" or "playboy." It's true, I must admit, I was taken aback. Initially, I thought the trope of pretending to be a womanizer for hidden motives was so overused that it'd become clichéd. However, it seems there's still room for fresh perspectives. To those concerned about a less-than-perfect male lead, rest assured – Kishiar is the ideal protagonist. Handsome, talented, enigmatic, seemingly charming yet deeply caring, and with a profound bond with Yuder in both their lives – he ticks all the boxes for an ideal love interest.
Yuder is strong, powerful, and cold, but he has his vulnerabilities too. This makes Kishiar the perfect complement, like complementary puzzle pieces. As others have pointed out, "Turning" is a novel that excels in world-building, action, and character development, with a focus on camaraderie alongside the central BL romance. Romance might not have been the initial focal point, but their evolving relationship unfolds gradually and steadily. If you're looking for a quick fix, "Turning" might not be your best bet, but for a fantasy tale rich with politics, power struggles, knighthood, and personal growth, it's a fantastic choice. Just be prepared, as the book is lengthy and currently lacks an ending, so pacing yourself might be wise.
