TurtleMe’s web novel series launched in English on Tapas in January 2017. The story follows King Grey, a once-powerful ruler reborn into a world of magic, mythical creatures, and epic battles. Now living as Arthur Leywin, a boy with untapped potential, he discovers that his new life is filled with danger and adventure at every turn. From mastering powerful spells to facing fierce enemies, Arthur must use his skills and wits to protect those he cares about and uncover the secrets of his mysterious reincarnation. Along the way, he finds friendship, challenges, and a destiny that could reshape the very world around him.
The webcomic launched on Tapas in July 2018. TurtleMe is in charge of the story and adaptation for the webcomic. The webcomic started with artist Fuyuki23, but the artist changed in June 2023 for Season 6 to Rise Entertainment. The webcomic went on hiatus in August 2024, and returned in October 2024. For the return, MGK-story is producing the webcomic. Season 6 ended on July 3, and the series is now on hiatus.
Yen Press is releasing the webcomic in print, and released the ninth volume on November 25.
The franchise is available in seven languages worldwide, and has more than 61.8 million reads, with more than 36.1 million for the webcomic and more than 25.7 million for the web novel. The franchise globally grosses nearly US$500,000 monthly.
The web novel series had a successful Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign for print editions. The campaign funded “Premium Editions of Volumes 1-3 of TurtleMe’s acclaimed series.” Rocketship Entertainment, a Ringo award-winning publisher and entertainment company that is publishing the Let’s Play web comic in print, is operating the Kickstarter.
