False R>F Shadow Fight

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.

Honestly, just seeing a different world behind the background doesn't really prove much, I mean... it's just a kind of breaking the fourth wall and maybe even showing that these two worlds exist parallel to each other. It needs to at least show that the world below is a flat surface on paper or something similar.

I need this to be more explicit; that's my current stance.

This is a no-telling, this is the reason why I asked in the first place. That's literally much more explicit as it can be.

It doesn't, but look in between the context. Are we seriously going to nitpick this? Shadow Fight literally has the Void as its baseline reality (which is described as eternal, which is a saying in Shadow Fight that it has no beginning and ending), and it doesn't really go beyond that. But then there's the Architect, who created all of it. They see all of them as a game running on a script. That's superiority.

It can't simply be treated as parallel if he literally created them and stated that fictional worlds are dependent on them in the first place. That's another superiority.
