Should You Read This?

About Everyone Else is a Returnee
God transports all of humanity to other worlds to train as warriors for an impending alien invasion — except Yu Ilhan, who is left behind on an empty Earth with a time-dilated pocket dimension. Left alone for a thousand years (subjective time), he maxes out his blacksmithing and combat skills to absurd levels. When everyone returns, they find their 'left behind' classmate is now the most powerful being on the planet.
Original title: 나 빼고 다 귀환자 (Na Ppae-go Da Gwihwanja) — translated to English and available for Western readers.
