Up to now I only have 2 theories about Doha cause I’m obsessed with him lol
1. Since the very first chapters Doha’s been acting suspicious when Bada saw him killing a civilian, and till this day we still don’t know why he did that. By that time Doha didn’t have a cassette tape yet, so he is suposed to be just a mere npc with no knowledge of pretentious danger, but why did he act like that? He knows something that not even Bada knows about this game, which leads me to think that there once was a round where Doha was the conscious character. In this round (the one we are reading) Doha is an npc, but due to the previous round development, he is now guilty of the loop that bada consciously lives in, probably because he still keeps the cassette tape of that previous round. I mean, it didn’t take much time for him to get to like Bada, romantically speaking, so I assume that’s because he already knew him. My theory is that they have already reached the end of the game and he wasn’t satisfied with it (probably cause he lost Bada), so he kept the cassette tape of the first round in order to save him now. This could also explain his obsession with Bada, losing a loved one so many times often leads to psychotic responses lol
2. Another theory is that Doha could be the creator of the game and not just a character. We never got to see how Doha dies, like it always restarts after Bada is dead. Is it that Bada is important to the development of the game that he needs to be alive in order for it to continue? Or is it that Doha doesn’t feel like continuing playing unless Bada is alive so he deliberately restarts the game? Plus, I can’t recall the exact chapter, but Doha once mentioned he changed Bada’s hair once. I personally don’t like this theory lol, but it’s still a possibility
Sorry if it’s not that cutesy nor detailed, I’m not that fluent in english TT (I know, not so demiure of me lol)

No no it is already very detailed and I have had similar theories too. Ahhh I wish we could have chat up anyway.
Abt your theory one, I also think DOHA is a concious player. Remember when bada said he told Doha about the game when he was an NPC, he ignored him. I also think DOHA is deliberately trying to stop bada from reaching the finale. I never thought maybe he played it before and liked bada so that's why he keeps restarting the loop. That's so awesome and crazy theory I love it. Maybe that's the reason for loop, Doha stops the game from completing when bada dies cuz he wants him alive.
Theory 2, he keeps biting Bada every loop and thinks about changing some of his features but he cannot keep them because they are in loop so I think he may not be the developer but he keeps doing that so that they can be you know out of the loop, like he wants to be out of loop and bada's changed features will be an indication of that?
I also think that Doha might be stopping bada from getting out of the loop cuz he just don't want to get out. I mean he is kind of a psycho and he thinks if they get out of it, bada won't be with him.
There are so many theories ahhh I just wish author would hurry up and give us our favourite stories bits and crazies to feed our hunger

OMG I completely forgot about npc Doha ignoring Bada when he first told him about the game! Maybe he was already conscious about it and he just played dumb so that the development of the loop wasn’t altered, but when Bada asked him for help he took it as an opportunity to be with him so he just went for it. Also, the only one who feels remorse when restarting is Bada. Doha doesn’t care at all about breaking the loop; it’s as if he is grateful that the loop is still working, like he is just helping because that’s the only reason why Bada wants him near him (at least up to now), not because he wants to beat the game.
About theory 2, yeah you are right, if Doha were the creator, he’d give Bada ponytails every single time lol
Doha definitely wants to stay in the loop. In the last chapter it was clearly him who cut the rope of the bridge—such a psycho, killing his loved one lmao. Although I don’t think he is the killer with the mask, I believe that we’ll eventually see him explicitly kill Bada if things don’t go his way.
To be honest, I completely agree with you, I wish this manhwa was a novel adaptation cause I can’t wait for new chapters, like I want to know EVERYTHING. I highly recommend “dead man switch”, it’s pretty similar and it has a novel so you don’t have to wait for updates! Haven’t read the novel yet cause I’m broke af but I’m planning to do so, still, the manhwa is so fking good literally 10/10

Dead man switch is SO GOOD I’m glad I found another enthusiast of that manhwa!
What I meant with the killer part is that there are some theories about Doha being the killer in the game, but honestly, I don’t agree lol. However, I do believe that in the near future, we’ll explicitly see Bada getting killed by Doha, not just a scene where Bada mysteriously dies from a bridge collapsing
we all know that the plot is amazing, but to me the best part is that I genuinely can’t think of an ending, like sure I have lots of theories, but the ending? no clue, I literally can’t picture anything, at least not a happy one
