wow i really hope there isn’t a totally unpredictable miscommunication reveal arc where mc’s original motives are uncovered and ml interprets it as everything was a lie and they have a huge falling out but ultimately get back together at the end once mc realises/confesses his real feelings and eventually clears the air that’d succckkkkk (and im gonna eat it all up anyway)
I see it coming unfortunately
Naurr
I FEEL LIKE THATS GONNA HAPPEN MOOL
This is the realest comment I’ve ever seen on here
as someone who has read the novel, this chapter really hits home. The concept of there not being a ‘home’, a ‘normal’ to return to. The terrifying and plain sad point of the fact that they will never be able to return :(
For those who have also read the novel, you’ll understand. For those who haven’t, you’ll learn even more as the story continues about it.
literally had to turn my aircon on by the end of this
Okay so we’re starting to get a few shreds of the plot tying together! So let’s analyse:
1. They are currently playing in a game that is a full-body, full-conscious experience. There is no logging out or pausing ect. and there’s no way for Bada to ‘get out’ unless he beats the game.
2. It is possible to achieve ‘consciousness’ by saving in the ‘game’ (but i don’t believe this is the ONLY way to achieve it. it wouldn’t make sense for Bada’s case and seemingly the new blue hair guy’s case)
3. Bada doesn’t remember what type of person he is in the ‘real world’. which brings up two very important questions:
- How long has he actually been going through these loops?
- Is there actually a reason he can’t remember?
Has Bada really been going through these loops for so long that his memory is fading of the person he is? Logistically, that’s a very slim chance. The human memory can retain itself just fine for 10 decades, so are we saying he’s been stuck for OVER a lifetime of these loops of a couple days at a time?
What is the ‘real world’. ACTUALLY?
I believe there’s a better reason for why he can’t remember, and it’s that he’s not MEANT to remember.
This goes for him and ALL of the other guys, it might just be that he is the first to ‘gain consciousness’ but i have minimal doubts the others will start to come around soon too. They are all there for a reason and I believe that reason could be numerous things.
I’ll propose a couple wild (far fetched) ones:
Are they all convicted murderers perhaps, been forced to live out this eternity of being slaughtered as atonement?
Or maybe (hear me out) Bada is the murderer, and he is in his own personal hell with all his victims in atonement.
THESE ARE JUST IDEAS I AM THROWING OUT.
love this, lets keep the thread going.
When Bada said he does not remember his 'real life' it made me think, what if Bada is not a 'real person' what if he is just an NPC and this is actually a game. And his whole purpose is to help the other 'players' end the game?
I have so many thought and theories
I LOVE stories like these, its a great brain gymnastic. I hope we can continue to talk about theories like this in the comment section, cause damn this good.
girl omg thats what i thought too after reading op's comment like what if bada just thinks he's from the outside world but is in actuality just another npc meant to guide other players in the game, like the encyclopedia/guide type of npc that describes what the others are or what items and save points in the game should be noted by the player
This is a great take at the possible story too omg. That is also very possible
OKAYYYYY definitely tagging along for the ride this looks so good so far
IF MY FUTURE LOVE ISNT LIKE THIS I DONT WANT ITTTTTTTYT
ITS HAPPENING GUYS ITS HAPPENING (grabs out tissues)
I need to be mentally prepared, could you please tell me who will die? ):
don't trust me completely on this but i'm pretty sure its the one who always dies ngl
at least that's what i've seen small spoiler images Σ( ￣□￣||)

it’s dokja. he does obv ‘comes back’ eventually but this time it’s a bit sadder than most for certain reasons
oh （/TДT)/
i started reading this about 2 ish years ago when it was only starting up, and i thought it was pretty interesting so kept it saved. GOOD THING I DID!! reading this in its completion was definitely worth-while. Good job past-me
aryka was not yoen in his past life. Aryka doesnt actually have a past life at all, he is the product of life creation between a human and a dream watcher. His name means “complete”, a reference to him essentially being a bridge between the two worlds. The more he allows himself to experience his own “humanity”, the more he becomes human.
Source: it doesn’t exist yet i am clairvoyant
okay im actually joking it is one of the theories i have though. we could also talk about him potentially being involved with mike in BOTH of their past lives (like historical drama sh*t) OR even aryka being yoen’s sickly non adopted lil bro AGHHH IM GOING INSANE I REREAD THIS ALL AFTER YEARS
Aside from all that,YOUR PROFILE PICTURE OF REI I CANT BREATH
LMAO
