Understanding this usage of も


I have uncertainty interpreting も in the below sentence.

> なんなら自分自身 **も**
> 、ゲームのプレイヤーキャラ位に思っていて、どことなく他人事のように考えている。([source](https://youngjump.jp/oshinoko/novel_45510/novel_03.html))

I thought も marks 自分自身 as a subject but that will make 他人事のように考えている nonsense.
So I think も is a substitute for を here? Then,
ゲームのプレイヤーキャラ位に思っていて、どことなく他人事のように考えている will be understood as "think of herself
as a player character in some game and treat herself as outside person (NPC)…?
It sounds bit contradictory?




Yes, it marks the object of 考えている. (I don't know if it is correct to say it's
a _substitute_ for を. 自分自身 **をも** is possible too.)

The subject seems to be アイ, and the sentence describes how she thinks _of
herself_. 他人事 literally means _someone else's matter_. The sentence basically
says she are partially indifferent to herself (as well as other people, as
implied by the も), which shouldn't be particularly contradictory, if not too
normal (and that should be why it is mentioned).
