Started playing with kapt, but cannot get Kotlin Reflection from RoundEnvironment. Got TypeElement but don’t have any idea how to make KClass out of that. Any ideas?

You can't, KClass is a runtime representation. But during kapt the code is still being compiled, there is no runtime.
What you can do is extract the @kotlin.Metadata annotation from the classes and then use kotlinx-metadata-jvm to parse the Kotlin-specific information. Its not as easy to use as just KClass, but if you absolutely need some Kotlin-specific information out of the class you can use it.
