So, basically Monika is considered as Low 2-C because she "Re-created and eventually destroyed the entire game, which is a whole universe of its own with its own time".
While the part about how the game is a whole universe with its own time isn't untrue, Monika "re-creating and destroying" the entire game isn't as direct as the justification makes it sounds. To prove this I'll go case by case, talking about every "big change/reset" the game had.
Act 1
Let's first talk about the first game "reset" right after Sayori's death. From what I saw a lot of people considers this as Monika directly rewriting the game, however it's wrong.
One of the main proof is the poem "A joke", which reveal use a crucial plot elements: Any character contradicting its role will cause the script to derail and threatens the universe.
Act 2
Act 2 shows also pretty clearly that the absence of change of a character makes a lot of things weird, or create bugs and suchlike (directly because of Monika or not), however they're all mostly minor change.
Now there's the scene with Yuri, which first shows that Monika doesn't directly alter the script/plot, since she wasn't aware of the script becoming super broke because of Yuri's behavior.
Act 3
Now there's Act 3, when we learn quite a lot of things about Monika and her powers (I'll list them by topics, that you can check here ).
- Poem , she says that the whole thing with Yuri was her experimenting her powers and messing up.
-with books Coffee with Books : She doesn't know what is erased or not, implying that it's more of a chain reaction (which will be confirmed later)
-Delete Myself : It's actually kind of a big reveal, since we now know that not everything was erased, and that files are linked between them, making changes through files erasure and behavior more of a great chain reaction.
-Music :Even in Act 3, she doesn't know what she's doing and mess up a lot of things, also mentionning how much damage it already did.
-Dying : Closing the game affects Monika a lot, same when you opens it. She's powerless when this happens (it's also mentionned in her poems which are confirmed to be about her "realization" btw).
And that's surprisingly all. Unlike what is wrote in the "weakness" part of her page, Monika can't change things at will not does she has a good control over her powers even during Act 3. We also learn that most of what we know are chains reactions.
Act 4
And now there's Act 4, which is... quite vague? Going by what we know thanks to the previous act, everything is kind of a chain reaction. The only things Monika directly deleted and bring back are the characters files, which would more implies everything being back to normal is related to these files being back (since their disappearance is what ****** up everything at the end of act 2).
It wouldn't make sense for Monika to suddenly being able to recreate everything where even changing musics is something she has trouble with. Also I'm pretty sure that Monika wouldn't just have let to Sayori her powers, considering that she basically learned the lesson before Act 4.
And now there's the final "erasure" of the game, which is again is mostly done through chain reaction/over time, considering that she needs to delete every things one by one.
Conclusion
Basically, Monika's tier 2 feats are through chain reaction or overtime, and it's more something specific to the game (considering that Sayori acting odd is enough to threatens the universe). She also clearly doesn't masters her powers as well as her weakness section seems to imply. I'm basically proposing her ratings to change from what it is to "10-B physically, Low 2-C via chain reaction" or something like this. Sayori should get the same. Idk really for the Player, since he's a special case, but his justification would likely need a change.
