✨Suujin's activites

Following the revelation in the latest chapter (as of ch53), my questions still remain, and I've added a few more:

What is the game's true purpose?
How are Doha and the others connected to the game's creator?
[ANSWERED] Are Bada and the others real people outside the game? Or are they simply just players/characters in the game that became sentient?
  Bada is the only NPC in the game, while the others (Doha, YongTaek, Seongchan, Bae Hyungshin) are actual players.
Why and how did they become trapped in the game?
Since this follows typical game technicalities, does this mean there’s a way to hack the game so that NPCs can escape as well? (an NPC was able to become a player, so maybe it's possible??)
What's the direction of the plot? Is it sci-fi (virtual reality world), fantasy (they were transported into the game), or something more spiritual (like purgatory, where the game acts as a dream-like state, and each character/player represents a deeper meaning or unresolved issue in the main character's life)?

Previous Theories
- Theory 1: https://www.mangago.zone/home/mangatopic/17123887/
  YUP CALLED IT (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
- Theory 2-3: https://www.mangago.zone/home/mangatopic/17824636/
  In hindsight, it was too obvious that the author wanted us to 'deduce' that Doha is the one who's an NPC. It was a red herring to throw us off from the fact that Bada is the actual NPC.

First time reading this and so far Im loving it! Just curious though because I dont want to spoil myself by reading the comments.. Does anyone else find Jeanette annoying?

so its kinda made clear that Doha has a tape too

THEORY #1: IS DOHA THE ONLY NPC?

What if Doha is the *only* NPC in the game? If you think about it, everyone else has tapes, right? (Bada, YongTaek, Seongchan, Bae Hyungshin) But has anyone seen Doha's tape? It doesn't seem like he's making save points. Although, there’s that one moment when he inserts a tape to make a save, but that was when Bada was walking him through the game’s basics.

Then there’s the thing Doha says about how far he’s willing to go to keep Bada by his side forever. What if Doha is just an npc who *knows* he’s an npc? And because he’s obsessed with Bada, he deliberately did something with Bada’s tape and sabotaged everyone’s gameplay in the process. This could explain why YeongTaek says in Chapter 43 that Doha is a dangerous person who needs to be kept in check, hinting at something he did in the past that caused a lot of problems.

Chapter 43 also gives us some key information about the tapes—apparently, as long as a player's tape is intact, they won’t lose their memories, even if they haven’t saved for a while. The only reason why they would stop "remembering" and behave as npc's is because their tapes are ejected. If that's the case, why did Bada lose his memories? It could be that his tape was destroyed (probably related to what Doha did) so maybe they had to use a fresh tape for him, which would explain why he seems so limited in what he remembers.


THEORY #2: BADA IS TERMINALLY ILL IRL

Another theory is that Bada is ill in the real world (vegetative state maybe?). So, Bada's friends and Doha created a game as a way to keep him alive and present with them. Otherwise, why would Doha be so hung up on him completing the game if they could just be together irl???


SO MY MAIN QUESTIONS ARE:
- What is the game's true purpose?
- How is Bada connected to the game's creator?
- Are Bada and the others real people outside the game? Or are they simply just players/characters in the game that became sentient?
- If Doha is just an npc, is he part of the game's system but has developed emotions or autonomy overtime?
- What's the direction of the plot? Is it scifi (Doha is an AI or something made specifically for the game to challenge players) or is it something spiritual (purgatory as a dream-like state and each character/player represents a deeper meaning in the MC's life)

What if it's Doha who's the main player of the game while Bada is just an npc? I know it's been pointed out already, but the amount of control Doha has on the game is kinda weird, like how he's the only one who could kill the killer. Also, remember that bit on chapter 18 where Bae Hyungshin was able to retain his memories because he didn't eject his cassette tape? What if that's what Doha did to Bada? Maybe Doha has Bada's tape and is keeping it somewhere in a cassette player (that cassette player in the latest chapter perhaps?). This would explain why Bada became a sentient npc and thinks he's the main player.

OR if we stick to the Bada-player and Doha-npc theory, maybe it's Doha's tape in that sus casette player? And that's why he's trying to distract Bada away from the player, because he doesn't want Bada to discover the tape inside??? Agghhh the point is either Bada or Doha has their tape inserted in a cassette player somewhere, which could possibly be the reason why either one of them became a conscious npc.
