Partial answer: significant progress, not sure what the next step is
To start:
Next, we follow those instructions:
The next instruction is
So, the last instruction says
...So now what?

Based on the feedback that my last attempt seemed promising, I will continue in that vein.
My second guess is:
The reason:
Original attempt:

My second guess for the code is
My original guess was
Because:
A comment from OP suggests the code can be found as

With thanks to @Deusovi for solving the Masyus and doing the hard part.
If you overlay the Masyu solutions on the Nurikabe solution, you will find something interesting:
You notice that
To extract:
So to make this Masyu more colorful, you should probably do this:
There, much better.

Partial answer - stuck on extraction
Solution to the Nurikabe:
What else is going on?
I'm not sure what to do next; overlaying the solutions to the logic puzzles doesn't look like anything useful. (And the fact that the 4×4 doesn't appear to work is surprising...)

Continuing from Deusovi's work, here are the solutions to the remaining subpuzzles
(the second from the first row, and the first, second and third from the second row. The rest is copied from Deusovi)

I don't know the whole answer, but my guess is that .......__.. is Morse Code. Unfortunately, due to a lack of spacing, there are many ways to translate it.
The next sentence says 'V is a sign for you.' This could mean to look for V in the code (..._). This translates as HVD, SEVD, ESVD, IIVD, EEIVD, EIEVD, IEEVD, EEEEVD, HVNE, SEVNE, ESVNE, IIVNE, EEIVNE,...

The crazy bird is:
An evil bird snatched the ball but the people burst in laughter.
An angry devil tried to kill the bird but the bird never died.

I couldn't find a logical path to reconstruct it; here's the solution I found through trial and error.

(Thanks for the opportunity to answer one of these myself!) This puzzle is a:
Both @jafe and @Rand'alThor have already solved the first-stage nonogram. The next thing to notice is that:
To extract the puzzle's name, we then...

Nonogram solution is as follows:
Now some letters
while others
Noticeably, that second set of letters
The first set looks like it might be

No idea what to do next...

The message is:
After solving the Nonogram and combining it with the number grid (thanks @Rand)
we get
When we now sort the letters according to their numbers we get
Taking the first letter of each of these words gives the final message shown at the top.
Very nice and tough puzzle, btw!

Since this is about "fourth wall", the answer should involve
We don't have much to go on, so let's try

Nonogram
I love me a good nonogram puzzle :-)
This seems to be
Poem
I think perhaps
Incorrect, there is zero weight
Mother! Striped with no bra
Beat the sword, the best characters
Gentlemen, behind! Largest to smallest
Here’s the rhyme there’s not much time
Every façade will fade to show true face
Let your head ...

I would say the ? should be:

Very very very partial answer; others should feel free to plunder it
As I remarked in TSL chat, I can do just enough of this to be pretty sure I'm the wrong person to try to do all of it. (The right person to do all of it is Deusovi, I think :-).) OP encouraged me there to "say what you've got and invite collaboration", so here we are.
I think much of this ...

Partial Examples
$(39 = 65 = 68 = 70 \approx 67) \subset 69 \mapsto 90$

@MichałWójcik made good inroads into this puzzle, and his answer proved helpful for my own (go upvote him). The 10-letter answer to this puzzle is:
Michał correctly identified 9 of the 10 flags; however, he needed to rotate the tenth one by 180 degrees to find the right country (had this been the only finding left to the puzzle I would have merely posted ...

A little late to the party, but here is my solution.
With some help from @Omega Krypton I solved it.
