SF book covers are always saying things like "by the bestselling novel of the Licanius Trilogy"
"A Theseus Imperium novel"
You find the most insightful, compelling enlightenment fantasy novel you've ever read and you can't recommend it to anyone because it's named something like "The Cartesian Pogrom: Antikythera Delerium Chronicles"

@mcc This bugs me too! If an anime has more than three Capitalized Proper Nouns in its synopsis (not counting character names), I just don’t watch it.

I figure anyone should be able to tell me the dust jacket pitch without having to impress me with the depth of their world-building.
