I want my character sprite to turn around rather using the turn block than immediately change direction using the
point in direction block. I didn't use the actual blocks in this post because they confuse me.

Too little information. Sharing what you have would help. The answer will depend on the player's viewpoint for example.

All right you want to change the “Rotation Style” from circular to linear I guess?
Click on the little “i”, located at the top right of the sprite you wanna change the rotation style, and then you'll be able to change it

Sorry, My game is a top down RPG. When he changes direction, he immediately does it. I think this looks too unatural. Here, I'll share it. https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/262848261/ use WASD to move.

The rotation style is already circular. I mean that I want my character to turn when changing directions rather than immediately changing.

Should the character turn at all? It's a top down RPG.
I think instead of turning and moving (x) steps, you could use

change x by (x)
change x by (-x)
change y by (x)
change y by (-x)

To move the character right, left, up and down, respectively, thereby also avoiding the turning smoothness problem.

(x) is just in place for any number.

Sorry, its a top down game, but enemies come from many different random directions and with the stiff movement it's hard to kill the enemies.

I think that you might want something like this:

when [a] key pressed
repeat until <(direction) = [-90]>
turn ccw (15) degrees
wait (your choice) secs
end

Thank you, I'll try this out!

Only do that if your direction is always a multiple of 15 though or it will just loop forever!

You may also want to rotate clockwise or anti-clockwise depending on current and target directions.

https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/55006278/ may help - you may want it to turn faster but you can play with the numbers.
