I LOVE your theory
Bada knows his way around bc it’s stated that he’s a massive horror nerd (somewhere at the beginning of the manhwa) so he knows all of the cliches and tropes that happens in them. Horror isn't that difficult to figure out it’s literally just a bunch of overused formulas with scary soundtracks so I don’t think he’s the real player. Even if they’re in a game right now surely they have a life before all of this and Bada probably has a hobby that involves a lot of horror media
I’ve been thinking about a theory that maybe Bada is actually a player and everyone else are just NPCs, bc so far it seems like no one knows how they ended up in the game, but from the very beginning Bada already knew how to play it and the mechanics going on and horror video game stuff that everyone else wasn’t as familiar with, bc they keep calling Bada a NPC, but how do they know that he’s actually one since in the beginning chapters Bada thought it was the other way around, where everyone else was NPCs, and maybe the reason why he can’t kill the serial killer is bc he’s actually the developer so he can’t directly interfere with the world, compared to NPCs who are meant to exist in it, idk maybe I’m totally wrong haha
