Fixing Isekai’s Biggest Problems: The Return of The Frozen Player Manga – Great

warning! Spoilers for Frozen Returns Chapter 4!

Return of frozen players Proving that manga can still incorporate some of the most beloved episodes in Another World, fans can’t seem to get enough without repeating the same plot over and over.

The otherworldly genre and its reincarnation subgenre are currently facing an existential crisis. All of their stories are essentially the same, with occasional deviations to keep them from becoming cold copies of each other. Some of the most used plots involve your ordinary Joe letting other worlds (usually by summoning) into magical land, a righteous being reborn after death as a reward for good behavior (usually to push strangers away) Mac Truck) or a high level player who finds himself stuck in a game or waking up as a Level 1 character in a world with stats RPG. But they always get lucky. Either a system glitch, or a benevolent god granting the protagonist a cheat that allows them to survive or quickly level up to a powerful warrior.

it all happened in Return of frozen players It’s just that there is no reincarnation, no other world. Instead, the ghost Seo Joon-ho and his companions battle the tyrannical Ice Queen, who froze the Pacific Ocean and unleashed monsters on humanity. Wraith defeated and absorbed the power of his frozen foe, but this forced him and his companions to hibernate until Wraith absorbed the Frozen Queen’s core completely. 25 years later, only the Ghost escapes from the frozen prison and learns that after the Ice Queen was defeated, a 10-story elevator landed on Earth and must be defeated. For decades, humans have only completed the second layer, but have obtained unimaginable wealth from the treasures there, turning the world into a wealthy society. But to survive the heat of the third layer, they needed the Ice Queen’s core, which was stored inside the Wraith.

Of course, Ghost volunteered to complete all 10 floors and save the world from this mysterious enemy. But there’s a problem. After being frozen for a quarter of a century, he is much weaker than he was before being trapped. However, Ghost discovers that not only does he gain incredible powers every time he completes a level, allowing him to eventually surpass his original strength, but he can also gain the Ice Queen’s powers for herself, eventually freeing her companions from the frozen prison.

Return of frozen players Basically borrowing all the qualities that have made the other world so appealing to many readers. Ghosts are never sent out of the world or reincarnated into another world. But after 25 years of hibernation, he wakes up in a world that has been completely changed, not only because of the passage of time but also because of the incredible amount of money man has made while he was closed. ice. richness. The ghost’s friends can also be in another world, as they are still alive but inaccessible because they are still frozen. Then there’s the cheating ghost. For some conflicting reason, he doesn’t get new powers from some unspecified game glitch. Nor did God give him a system of cheating because he felt sorry for him or believed he deserved it. Wraith absorbed it from the Ice Queen. Return of frozen players Clearly, the series has capitalized on the momentum and popularity that otherworldly manga bring, at least with a more creative approach than the actual otherworldly.
