That isn't whataboutism, I'm simply asking where you draw the line on the standards.
We see him physically in the game because he's manifesting within the game. We can connect the dots by looking at the various statements showing how the Shadow Fight universe (and, by extension, Nekki's creations as a whole) is treated as nothing more than paper, fiction, or ultimately a game from their perspective. This is especially evident with the Architect, who explicitly acknowledges and incorporates us (the players) into that framework.
Judging their superiority based purely on how they physically appear in the game seems off. In the story, he does have the ability to break the boundary between reality and fiction,
as shown through the background imagery and presentation. He don't just showed up out of nowhere, and he's clearly not some normal guy as we see in the dull Real World of ours.
