No. The format of presenting the world through unreliable narration is itself a shield against bad writing. For example if pic related were presented as an in-universe opinion from a Nan-Gau magistrate, it wouldn't come across as GW attempting to make Cathay super speshul boys, it would come across as propaganda from a state loyalist that players could choose to believe or not, while both still engaging with the setting on the same level. The exact words could be the same, but the context would massively improve the overall impression.
