Series name by Graydon Saunders. The first book is a deconstruction of military fantasy. The second and third a deconstruction of Magic School. After that it sort of merges as the Big(er) Bad becomes less of a threat on the horizon.
Be warned in that the writing is deliberately opaque and obtuse, as if it was a direct translation from the Commonweal language (for example, there is gender in the language/society (broadly matriarchal in the local area), but it very, very rarely comes up, to the point that we still don't know the gender of some main characters, if they have a gender.) There are almost no info dumps unless a local citizen needs to be infodumped.
Real mirror universe Brandon Sanderson type shit, here, lol.
Hopefully that means the books are good instead of slop as well
