I'm also experiencing this issue. It started right after upgrading my PS4 version to 2.53. I had been in the nether (I've seen that as a common thread), but wasn't there when I logged out (Save & Quit).
When I try to log back in, I'm stuck at "Building Terrain".
I've attempted to restore an older backup file, but the last one I have is from two months ago... a tough loss for my world if that's where I need to restore from.
I'm able to get into other world on this Playstation.
Fix: This fixed it for me
Download and install Minecraft PE
Log into the same Microsoft account
Start the world on PS4 and let it get to the point where it's stuck building terrain
Find the shared game on your same network and log in as the Minecraft PE account.

Run around, save and exit.

Restart it, and your game will be back!
