And lastly, we have Return of the Frozen Player. The story of this manhwa revolves around our MC who gets unfrozen after 20 whole years. No, it’s not your average “Frozen” story (in case you’re thinking about Olaf or else). LOL! Anyways, the world in this manhwa was in chaos where all the human beings turned into players of the game. Some were talented enough to adapt themselves to this world. On the other hand, we had some weaklings who couldn’t do anything.

Our MC was smart enough to adapt to this world and he was the only hope for humanity. He decided to defeat the Frost Queen with his party who had most control over the world.

When they did that, they were frozen. That sounds cold. OOF! Anyhow, they turned into ice sculptures. 25 years later, our MC a.k.a. Specter woke up and decided to take revenge on the Frost Queen.
