Time travel manwhas like Returner's magic should be special, Tomb Raider king, etc are very special in their own ways. It is absolutely confirmed, that our mc has futuristic knowledge about the world ahead of time. After all, our protagonist has returned from the future right!
Jinsoo is always worried about Sehan since he is a coward and bullied by his fellow students. Kim Sehan opens his eyes on a bench and realizes, That this is the same day when the 'Game of God's started and Goblins attacked the school. In that attack, Han Jinsoo lost her life saving him.
But at the same time, It has some unique style to its art. This art style is amazing compared to most of the manhwas.
But, That doesn't mean, Everything will go as planned. The Future is always uncertain as it is yet to happen.
The Changes he makes in his presence will affect the future outcome. This is certainly a law of nature.
Our protagonist can only know about the future which he has experienced but not the future where he changed the past.
Well, It might be confusing for this time... I may sound more like Prof. Hulk explaining the Time travel theory.
For your better understanding, Let's just say, If you do time travel to Past... You will know the future which happened when you didn't know about it. But, now that you know the future. You will try to change it... Thus Future will not remain the same. One small change leads to the domino effect and changes the whole future altogether.
Return to Player is such a Korean Hunter manhwa with a time travel background and a lot of changes.
It is very different from other Korean hunter manhwas which typically has gates or monsters or one player who has godly powers. We have seen too much of it. Return to player can be the better version of them all. It has a rather better storyline than Solo levelling.
The World has become a stage for the Game of God. Humans who were selected for this game were called Players. Certainly not by choice but the 'Gaming system' choose them randomly.
The reason it's called a Game of God's was it was created for the Entertainment for Gods. The System gave quests and missions to complete and eliminate players. A Game Master (GM) who also happens to be a god operates this system and give abilities and skills to the players as per their performance. It was similar to a real video game.
They used players to be their Avatars and give them their powers. This was similar to calling them their champions who will win the Game. Some of the gods participated themselves.
It's been 10 years now, The Game has ended. The only player who lived was our protagonist. The Final survivor.
Although He has an option to survive by passing through a black hole He can't since he is an Avatar of a Goddess (Witch of Dreams).
He curses her as he can't even survive after finishing the game. The System congratulates him on clearing the game and tells him about the termination of all remaining players. He doesn't want to be killed by the system, So he pulls his sword and keeps it on his neck.
Suddenly, Another system message prompts up. The New Item in the System. As he cleared the single-mode, The DLC (Downloadable content which is available) Store. He can use his game 1.7 million game points which he earned all his life as a player.
A "2nd Package" worth 1 million points allows the player to restart the game from the beginning and gives many benefits.
After all, He was the only one in this 'Lonely World'.
He now got a chance, to go back for the second round. He can even change the whole game and the Future of Mankind. He will be given all his remaining points and the facilities of the DLC store included in the 2nd round.
Our protagonist accepts it.
The system congratulates him on his purchase and gives him good luck for his 2nd round.
(It feels like the system cares about him)
Our protagonist is sent back to day 1 when the Game of God began. Our pratoginist is Kim Sehan.
Sehan is a normal human and a gamer in real life.
He is always quiet and doesn't have lots of friends. His only friend is Han Jinsoo.

The same happens this time too, The Goblin army started to attack students and It was a bloodbath in an instance. But, this time Kim Sehan knew everything about the game and the monsters. He immediately saves Han Jinsoo and Kills the Goblins. As the Students were panicking and everyone was crying for help. Kim Sehan was calm and killing goblins with no hesitation. Han Jinsoo sees this and immediately shows her skills as a fighter who trained in martial arts. Han Jinsoo gained the Skill (Cheon Sal Seong) 'Heavenly Murderer Body'. The one who denies death.
Since the System gave Han Jinsoo a skill that means she is recognised as a player which didn't happen in the last round. This was the indication that Kim Sehan has come to the past, can change the future and also the GM and the system are unaware of his existence.
The Gods finally reveal their objective and the System announces that the whole world is a Game. The Game of entertainment for Gods.
Kim Sehan has seen the worst end humanity can face. He has seen every possible danger which comes with each mission and knows the system better than anyone. He doesn't want to repeat the same mistake again. He decides to save humanity with all his power and make a team of the greatest players from his previous life.
He finds them and trains them to achieve the greatest powers which will help him save humanity. He plans to make a Guild 'Deicide'.
The black orbs flying all around all called observers which Gods use to watch over the game as well as their Avatars. They cannot directly communicate with their Avatars but they can give them hints through messages.
The Gods themselves have a Chat Room where they gather and share their ideas.
As Kim Sehan gets stronger and is well known as the strongest player, He gets an access card to this chat room. He becomes popular in God's as 'Anonymous 48'.
Kim Sehan uses this ability to manipulate Gods and make his way to success.
Wait !!
Gods are not the only ones enjoying the game. Devils. Yes, Devils are also a part of this game.
Devils choose their Avatars and disrupt the plans of other gods. In essence, Devils and Gods are at war. They even kill each other's avatars. Devil's also have similar groups of Demons Lords and other Devil.
The Gods can have up to 2 Avatars and Devils can have a lot more as their Avatars. They share their power with people who desire power and have hatred. These are called Contractors.
The Game consists of Dungeons and Open world missions. Sometimes the Dungeon Boss would be a Sentinal or an Upper-class monster.
But, As Kim Sehan gains more power and saves countless lives. The GM interrupts the system and changes the Boss to Star Signs and other Godly Creatures as Final Bosses.
This makes the game more challenging and difficult for Kim Sehan as well as for other players. No one other than Sehan has the power to clear the missions.
As everything was advancing into a better future... An Avatar of Goddess of Future (Skuld) sees the Future being changed and the Ending of the game has changed too.
Now, The Game has a new ending.
What is that Ending?
Will Kim Sehan save humanity from the bad ending?
How can Kim Sehan change the future?
Who is Kim Sehan?
Why did he save Jinsoo?
Will Kim Sehan become a God?
There are so many possibilities and probabilities to be explored and to be known.
The Story is very engaging and entertaining. The Gods, the Devils, the skills and abilities from the system and the Players. As the future changes rapidly... The future Kim Sehan knows began to disappear and it gets to the point where he feels it is unknown.
It becomes more and more challenging for him and the story gets more interesting.
The animation is also the best part about this manhwa. It feels sketchy and may seem lacky.
