You're confusing "realism" for fairness here.

Not really. How Kirito could just stand still on the bridge while a bunch of guys were exhausting themselves trying to beat his auto-regeneration speed with their lacking damage was hardly fair and even less realistic. Being able to slay a careless sleeper is realism but it's also fairness in the sense it allows a less strong character to get even with a strong one. In my opinion if you aren't wise and watch your back, it's only fair someone will exploit that carelessness without the game engine getting too much in the way.

Being able to slay a careless sleeper is realism but it's also fairness in the sense it allows a less strong character to get even with a strong one.

So it's fairness in the sense that it isn't fair. Obviously, pushing someone's hand to accept a duel and killing them in their sleep is not an equitable or morally fair outcome for the victim. Come on.
