Hoegwijaneun Na man Jikinda, often recognized by its English title 'Only I Protect the Returnee,' originated as a webnovel before being adapted into a webtoon format. The series belongs to the highly popular South Korean regression and dungeon-crawling genre, where protagonists utilize foreknowledge of future cataclysmic events to secure power and survival.
