#every time I run the risk of being drawn into the narrative#Iโll be forcibly reminded that this is a book about fantasy unit 731#but the Japanese have been swapped for ancient romans#literally the Romans#every other culture gets a fantasy name#except this version of Ancient Rome is apparently a monarchy without any baggage about it#and also apparently has a really sterile bland lack of a culture#listen if the Roman Empire had existed well into 20th century#at the height of its power l#it would totally start beefing with the Chinese empire#but Iโm#just reading this likeโฆ.#okay Lindsay ellis has that video about Bright right?#which is a movie thatโs also set in an alternate history with magic#and thereโs a bit where she goes on a tangent about how a joke about Shrek is accidentally immersion breaking for her#this is how I feel reading about a dude named Antony Augustus#whose got a gun and has been adopted into a hereditary monarchy#that no one is even trying to pretend is a democracy#oh and Antony Augustus has a butler called Dawson#so like does not!Romano Britain exist or something?
