There could be fantasy stories where the hero, after a long and adventurous journey, decides to come back to the simplicity of his previous life.
Often in adventure tales, the hero might return to his life because he realizes that home and familiar surroundings hold more value than the excitement of the unknown. This could lead to a new appreciation for his old life and a change in perspective.
There's the story of Captain Smith who sacrificed himself to protect his troops during a fierce battle. He led the charge and took multiple bullets to ensure his comrades' safety.
I'm not sure specifically as there could be many novels with this kind of title. It might be about a hero who has reached the maximum level in some sort of game - like or fantasy world and then returns to a place or situation. Maybe he has new powers or knowledge due to reaching that max level and his return causes all sorts of changes and adventures.
Well, he might encounter natural disasters, opposition from local communities, and maybe even get lost in unfamiliar territories.
The unique premise of the hero's return makes it stand out. It's not just about a hero's journey, but about what happens when he comes back.
This book was about an IT programmer who loved to play games. After he died from working overtime, he returned to his high school days and realized that the world seemed to be a little different.

I hope you like my recommendation.

One great example could be 'Outlander'. It has elements of a time - traveling nurse who gets involved with a Scottish warrior. The story beautifully blends historical details of the past with a passionate romance, and the hero, Jamie Fraser, has many heroic qualities. His return to the life of the female lead, Claire, time and again is filled with both drama and tender moments.
Such novels often belong to the dark romance genre. They might focus on complex and troubled relationships with intense conflicts.
I recommend "Homecoming Song" to you. It's a fantasy romance-Oriental fantasy novel. When the male protagonist was saved by someone when he was young, he promised to marry her, but the other party did not accept it. After he was reborn with his memories, he became a sect disciple and continued to grow in order to defeat his opponents. The plot was full of ups and downs. The male protagonist encountered various challenges in his cultivation, but he always believed in his beliefs. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~😗
