"most". Jon IS dead, 5 books in. Cat died and came back. Berric is dead 5 books in. Gregor probably died and came back.
Of those the only notable ressurection was Stoneheart (we don't know how Jon's will be).
We've had dead POVs like Ned, Oakheart, Quentyn. That also doesn't include main characters like Rob or antagonists like Jof, Tywin, Kevan, all of which much more relevant than Gregor.
Yeah, there have been a lot of "died" heroes who didn't really die, e.g. "Brann" hanged by Theon, Arya when she took an axe to her head, Davos when he drowned, etc.
You make it sound like they came back all jolly and normal.
Catelyn is an undead wight who can't talk because her throat was slit, her face is shredded exposing the rotted flesh underneath and in some places her skull, and she is solely obsessed with vengeance
Beric's wounds never heal, so he's missing an eye, his head is caved in, he has a massive gash in his chest and his throat is permanently contused from being hanged. He doesnt eat or sleep, and each ressurection causes him to lose his sense of self more and more.
Gregor is the result of a mad scientist expriment. He's alive in only the most basic sense of the word. He's basically a zombie in a suit of armor.
As for Jon, it remains to be seen how ressurection will affect him.
Tbf Beric did die again (and definitely for the last time) and stayed dead until the end of the books so far. It's the reason why we have Lady Stoneheart.
This is such an insane take, all those characters are dramatically changed by their death/revival except jon in the tv show (we have no idea what happens in the books but it would be strange for nothing to happen considering the clearly established rule that dying fucks you up)
