Synopsis
Yu IlHan has spent his whole life being overlooked, but even he is shocked when God accidentally leaves him behind as the rest of humanity is sent to other worlds to prepare for Earth's Great Cataclysm. Because time on Earth passes differently, IlHan endures a thousand years of solitude while training his body, learning countless skills and preparing for the day everyone returns. When humanity finally comes back, mana floods the planet and monsters begin appearing everywhere. The man who was forgotten by everyone is now absurdly experienced, armed with skills no ordinary modern human should possess, and ready to survive a transformed Earth alongside angelic allies such as Liera.
Everyone Else Is a Returnee turns isolation into progression. Yu IlHan's defining advantage is not a sudden gift but a thousand years of uninterrupted practice while the rest of humanity is absent. The comedy comes from his lifelong tendency to be overlooked, while the action escalates once Earth fills with mana, monsters and returning humans who have no idea how far beyond them IlHan has already grown. Its strongest appeal is the contrast between a protagonist who still behaves like an overlooked loner and the overwhelming competence he earned in solitude.

What it feels like
The strongest StoryKai positioning is 'the man God forgot trained alone for a thousand years.' That premise explains both the comedy and the power fantasy, and it should remain more prominent than generic returnee or hunter tags.
