The Frozen Player Returns

When Seo Junho and his companions sacrificed themselves to defeat the frost queen, they thought they were restoring peace to Earth. But after 25 years of being frozen solid, Junho thaws out only to find that nine more floors appeared in his absence, only one of which has been cleared! As the only one who holds the key to clearing the next floor and defrosting his friends, Junho must step up once again. But has this hero been in hibernation too long to take on the world's fearsome new foes?

MC is quite likable, art is not great, but okay. Story is not bad, but not good. Passes the time.

Unfortunately it will be impossible to give a more detailed review without spoilers, but I will summarize in a few words at the end of my commentary. Skip to the end if you want to avoid it.

Without giving away any spoilers, unfortunately the decline in the quality of the plot is clear.
What you'd expect from a legendary hero getting a second chance, even if it's not in the reincarnation style, is done in a rather mediocre way that even gets worse as the story progresses.
It's all too common for the protagonist to be weakened so that he can have another chance to evolve, facilitating the construction of idiotic villains who only serve to demonstrate the hero's abilities while he slowly gets stronger. I might not complain about this if it weren't for the feeling that the protagonist's mentality has been easily affected in the process.
Seriously, there should be a limit to the loss of maturity of characters in genre fiction, especially if the author tries to show the opposite first!
You have a protagonist who may not have aged physically, but both because of his current mental age and the fact that he's physically an adult, you can't just change his mental age that much.
The art isn't so bad, but it varies in quality, no character makes you feel attached, nor does the plot hold you, even the Skill System is confusing.
I struggled to read up to chapter 110 and what do I get?
They've turned one of the races in the fantasy genre that I love the most, the dwarves, into little children. So it's really hard to try and come up with a single reason to convince anyone to read this piece of... Work.

I have no idea if I'll even try to read the end of this series, but I can easily assure you that you'll find many better options than this if you search on this website.

Pretty bad

Chapter 29 was the last straw for me.

Firstly there is a scene where a dealer is playing the shell game in an actual casino, LMAO. Of course it is ridiculous since a shell game would never be played in an actual casino since it is ILLEGAL in most countries. And of course the author doesn't mention the actual trick behind the shell game instead he just makes up some deep-sounding nonsense.

And then in that chapter the villain is running at the MC with a knife and the MC closes his eyes and the villain is like "oh no, he's closed his eyes that's exactly what you should do in a situation where someone is running at you with a knife". And the manga says "there's 2 places you can be attacked where you can be killed: the head and the heart" and so the MC guesses which exactly place the enemy is going to attack and of course easily defeats him.

So dumb.

And what's even more ridiculous is they do all this back and forth talking WHILE FIGHTING TO THE DEATH like "just give up and die!" and the villain even yells out "MY KNIFE IS ALREADY AIMED AT YOUR HEART!!" like some silly shounen manga villain.
