i love this manhwa so much for it being fucked up and for being so beautifully directed and paced, like again the scenes where jingi followed them in the yard, his perception of the moments where heonjae and myongil are together and how his feelings are shown, not being told out loud for the whole chapter. an amazing work

sooo if npc can gain sentience by inserting the tape could that actually mean that they were ncps for some time too? or how does this work??? and if not then why there's only one npc in their team then and it's pi bada??? and did others know that???

This is how I see it: (I can only remember Bada's and Doha's names, forgive me lol)
No the others are players, just that by removing their own tapes they use to save they lose memories and act like the characters they are supposed to be in the game. Bada has ALWAYS been an NPC in the game, not an external player possessing the characters, and they just dragged him to play with them. As for the others, from what I understood Bada started playing with them only at the point when Doha and the other dude were the only one left because the best friend guy told Bada that in the earliest memories he had Bada wasn't with them. Seeing as they should have all been awake at the beginning of the game when NPC Bada is supposed to warn them, and Bada has always been that NPC, I don't know if that guy didn't actually see his face at the time and therefore didn't know Bada is the NPC or if he was lying about not knowing Bada because he didn't want to shock him or something? Idk

bro the omega twin left you all, like it's important to find a lost person but to bring him forcingly back into the "family" is just not right when he doesn't want this family it seems

No, he confirmed that he timed it on purpose in raws. Just cause he’s having heat doesn’t mean he didn’t plan it beforehand. It’s similar to a menstruation cycle in some BLs, including this one—the twin brother knew he was about to have his heat.
As for the Alpha, yes he couldn’t control himself. Twin brother premeditated all this.
is there anyone literate in confucianism and buddhism culture, values, and symbolism? the single ch 6 with a simple one frame of a game gave lots it seems - there's an urn ("urn of doom" as a player haha), "samsara" as a player, the character's a knight, he's fighting these ghosts-gummies thingies. and only then! there's this dream with a person in the urn talking about confucian path and "mercy of buddha", and another person being killed it seems. and the gummies in the mansion.
the freudian concept of personality was discussed here regarding mugos, but maybe i missed a discussion about these symbols.
the smut's great but the story. i mean. not that often regret i that i haven't chosen to learn more about culture and the ways of interpretation in school
