4.5 stars, it has gone to a great start and the translation is as expected from reaper it is good. Looking forward to the future of it.

Return of the frozen Player is surprisingly good like good good lol, the good kind where it is almost at the level of SCO Gluttony and Moonlight sculptor or those top tier SK novel from my perspective AKA pure subjective. (It is impossible to have pure objective review anyway)

MC is smart and likeable, companion and friend is quite useful. Though MC had a quite severe hero complex but it is not dragging him down. He is careful and considering his decision in taking action, and most importantly proactive searching... more>> enemies by gathering information not just passively waiting to get attacked and crying later when friend died due to surprise attack and vowing to revenge bullshit.

Though the best element of this novel is its PACING. Story progression and pacing is top tier, the best even that I've read in a while. There are many exciting things and action and after sweaty chapters the author give the reader down time or rest for the MC and readers. These down time and rest chapter is sooooo gooood, they give us nice interaction and fleshed out the character even more like treating deteriorate mental health and fatigue due to constant near death battle, like hanging out with friends, talk about the experience, had a good rest or good amount sleeping (THE MOST IMPORTANT).

It is also not constant battle after battle with the MC seemingly alive by their skin of teeth every time and always on the backfoot and disadvantages. There are times when the plan perfectly executed and gives us a good satisfying beatdown to the enemies.
Antagonist is quite good, though MC get strong but the enemies had a headstart for 27 years while MC forced sleep so he is struggling against them atleast the leader of the human killer organization, and each tower floor is different strong and transcendent of their world or planet like God Emperor of Warhammer 40k so he is not sweeping the floor with them. It is currently ongoing so 5stars, if the ending is good and authordoes not drop the ball for the ending this will stay. :) <<less

its a great book, the beginning is like second life ranker, but after the defeat of the frost queen he gets frozen for 25 years, and after he wakes up (in the middle of a museum display of his frozen body which was funny) he learns about how the world has changed, and that he has to get more powerful to unfreeze the other 4 heroes, so far, with little information, I can only recommend the novel to new readers, but if the author continues with this quality of writing,... more>> and reaperscans keeps translating it in the same quality, this will be a great and engaging book.

Spoiler

the info dumps are actually engaging and not just a block of text which is amazing, it kept me entertained while teavmching me about how the world was and how it changed after 25 years, which is understandable

Spoiler

another thing about the character is that he has regressed back to his original values when he was level one, with a powerful skill but not being able to use it in its entirety, which is a breath of fresh air from what the authors usually do with a powerful MC and I love it

sorry about my lack of punctuation with that, but in short, great book, definitely would recommend to anyone wanting a good read (also the notes from the translator are either useful or funny bc they will crack jokes in them, or explain stuff unique to the korean language) <<less

Great read so far. I look forward to every chapter and the characters are very likeable so far. Excited for Reaper to catch up to the raws!
