Hey yall, if you remember me I was the person who wrote that long ass theory rant and all imma say is that my second theory was correct but in reverse! Seriously this author is brilliant.
Obviously none of this is confirmed this is just me theorising the story and it's event!
But omg turns out mc is the only NPC! This means however that there is still a mystery to how the other characters ended up in the game and honestly I'm going to stick to my 'Sword art online theory' where the players were playing the game in its beta stage as a way of testing for bugs, but failed to realise the biggest bug which was how to leave, causing them to be stuck in the game. Not knowing what to do the players probably thought their best bet was to find a way to finish the game in order to escape. Somewhere along their journeys Doha met mc and started to become obsessed with him and later fall in love with him, realising he was an NPC and that the second he leaves the game he leaves mc, he purposely sabotaged everyone to remain in the game for longer.
This is my theory based on latest events.
HOWEVER!!!
I still have so many questions.
You see the main reason I thought mc was a player was because they saw the ending screen, the like 'GAME OVER' screen, which in my mind doesn't make sense for an NPC to see, also he was able to affect the story. Whereas any gamer knows that NPC's can't influence a games ending independently. An NPC can be manipulated to affect the ending by a player or by programming.
Now stay with me imma go a little off topic.
But how did the group originally convince mc to follow them, I mean in every game mc played in he was always in the car already, but know we see that it was originally Doha who knocked him out and put him in the car. Hence why he was the only person who was 'asleep' in the beginning of the cut scenes. So this begs the question is mc never went along with the group willingly how did Doha fall inlove with him/become obsessed with him?? I mean it's not like he fell inlove with him based on the small interactions at the beginning right. And we can't even say that mc's "cousin" convinced him as that guy literally states that they aren't close. So how did they do it??
Most likely case is that out of desperation Doha kidnapped mc as a way to get an alternative ending and realised that it did actually get the extra endings. So they kept doing it and over time they convinced mc that he was a player. Which is why he started to think he was a player when he was actually a NPC.
BUT ANOTHER CONTRADICTION! Because I thought only players had cassettes, so how come mc has one?? Could this means something.
Which is where I get to my new theories on who actually is mc!
1. He an NPC clear as day and was just manipulated onto believing he was a player.
2. He is an NPC who gained consciousness due to the glitch that kept the other players in the game.
3. Yall gonna have to stay with me on this one, but what if he is a player. But he is a player who joined the game at a different time. We see him have a different entrance (via motorbike) so what if the original plot of the game was for mc to join the others in the car, but as mc was conscious he refused to join. However this refusal meant he missed the opportunity to save his cassette to he lost those memories of being a player. And as the others never saw mc as anything other then an NPC as he didn't partake in the main game, they all assumed he was a NPC. I know it's a lot lol.
4. He isn't exactly an NPC but instead the consciousness of the game. I mean it would make sense as to why he can't hurt the killer as he can't exactly mess with his 'own' programming.
5. Lastly a bit of a reach but mc is a player but came into the game to supervise the other players, which is why he had a different exit and also significantly different aesthetic to everyone else. As he was never supposed to join them, just observe them as a way to gather data for something....
(for like developing the game or something)
But anyway that is my new and refreshed theories. Please tell me your ideas and as always I'll respond to every question!

BRO HEAR ME TF OUT, dude I have an even more insane theory like laced with cocaine and shit. I’ve also wondered where Doha’s obsession stems LISTEN LISTEN what if Doha’s love for Bada stems from another person’s memory or cassette tape. Stay with me okay, remember when Yongtaek got his memories back, and when he asked Bada to take out his tape he also said something along the lines of him being “his best friend and soulmate”. Like hello?? There’s definitely more to their relationship in that tape yet Yongtaek has decided to keep to himself. Now if this sounded as dumb as it does already, what IF, Doha experienced a bug of sorts, and was able to retain the information from Yongtaeks tape. I know this makes no sense whatsoever but I literally have been foaming at the mouth trying to figure out what else was there to Yongtaek and Bada’s relationship.

WE JUST SKIPPED LIKE 30 CHAPTERS OF A POSSIBLE MISUNDERSTNANDING ARC THANK THE LORD!!!!
love that we actually talk to each other (/TДT)/ but seriously omg i was seriously begining to think we were gonna have to struggle through them just misunderstanding eachother. Instead now we can focus just one them!! Also heard the next chapters are (≧∀≦) if yk what i mean

I have never held so much hatred for a man in my life I'm literally shaking. It's fucking 2 am nearly I'm at my parents house reading this and shaking from anger. Lister has to die.

I CAN'T I HATE THIS MAN SO MUCH
HE IS SO IMMATURE SO BIGGOTEDI JUST WANNA BLOW HIS FUCKING BRAINS OUT A CUT OF HIS SHRIMP LIMP DICK LIKE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH
THE WAY HE TREATS OUR POOR BOY MAKES ME SO MAF LIKE WTF!!!!! ANDHE KNOWS HE IS WONG WHICH IS THAT PISSES ME OFF AND THEN HE HAS THE NERVE TO ACT ALL NICE AND SWEET AFTER LIKE BRUTALLY ASSAULTING HIM
I HATE HIM SO MUCH
This was genuinely the worst manwha I ever have ever read. Like what the actual fuck was going on in the authors head this is straight rape porn with little to no plot. I'm aware there is a novel but apparently it is even worse. Like the ml is a straight up monster. The mc goes through nothing but pain and torture his whole life.
As a child he lived in extreme poverty being abused everyday and used as literal live BAIT for his dad to go hunting. And then his mum gets murdered in front of him and after her death he has no one. Like literally no one. He is constantly abused, starved and exploited. To the point that he throws himself at the ml begging to be saved. So what does the ml do you ask?
FUCKING TORTURE HIM
Like I'm not even exaggerating, he chokes this guy out, nearly drowns him several times, rapes him to the point of internal bleeding as well as just ruining his mental health. By constantly calling him ugly and useless, saying the only useful thing about mc was his hole. Like wtf. It gets so bad that whenever ml is mad at mc his first reaction is to ask if he should strip and suck him off.
Yeah fucked up man actually fucked up. I have read some bad stuff in my life, but this. This takes the top.
I hate how people genuinely defend the writers actions, calling it dark romance. Like baby this ain't romantic this is just straight porn. The only and I mean ONLY reason I continued this was because of the cover and because I was hoping ml would go through hell. But instead he remained in the royal family (I think he is the emperor now idk it wasn't very clear) and kept his riches and power. If he had lost all of that and maybe a limb I would not be criticising this as bad. And honestly deep down I was hoping for a 'twilight poem' situation where the 2nd ml is actually the real ml and in this scenario the general would run off with mc. But instead we got this bullshit.
If there's one thin you should take from this comment is not to waste your time reading this. Unless you are some sick fuck who enjoys reading grafic tape porn.
Fortunately I'm normal and don't enjoy rape. So I'm going to go wash my eyes with a nicer manwha (two souls)
Bye
Quick message for the argue master.
Next time don't be a pussy and change your settings so I can respond to your message cause I swear you better be rage baiting and if you are it worked. I didn't not waste an entire night of my life reading this shit with screenshots as proof of timestamps for you to say my comment was copy and pasted. After looking at your profile I can see that you obviously like this thing for some reason and that's fine ig but don't come out here spouting crap. You know damn well my argument was reasonable and valid, not everyone wants to read rape and grafic rape at that.
I don’t even need to read this comment to know it’s just a person spewing nonsense without actual reading the manwha
What a waste but just give some reasonable argument next time instead of copy and pasting what other haters say
valid crash out from I_suck_toes
Thank you
Well said. This was shtty from the beginning to the end tbh. If I were MC, I would've killed myself. Seems like the sanest option left lol
Frl I would have killed myself by the second rape I would not be able to continue. Mc either the strongest person ever or the naivest and I think we know which one
It's clear they DID read it. This was so offensive, so many shocking r*pes, that I put it down for the longest time and only came back to see if the author would do some attempt to redeem the monster. It just doesn't work.
