I'm sorry but you're wrong. A reality is not the same as a universe. A reality is everything that exist (i'm talking about the very fabric of reality itself). A multiverse exist because it's real. What is real is what is inside of reality. That includes concepts, rules, dimensions, uni/multiverses, etc.

Gensokyo have been clearly established multiple times to exist in its own reality, everything existing in Gensokyo being legends, gods, etc. They are literally animated by people's faith (fear for youkai), because that's what created them in the first place. Even Gensokyo itself is canonly known in the Outside World, it's known as a legend.

Heck, Sumireko is able to enter Gensokyo in her dreams, and people's dreams are realities by definition. They're fictions you create unconsciously. It's even explained in a Touhou manga, so that's definitely how it works in Touhou. In Gensokyo it's impossible to hurt Sumireko, this world can't have any direct physical effect on her, because that's not reality for her.

Also, for anyone saying "helping" in the creation of a reality isn't totally reality level, Yukari was also stated to be able to destroy this reality if she felt like it. All by herself, this time.
