The writing style has me in stiches, it feels at odds with the layout and imagery, but completely fits the character of the story in question.

I wonder how well a Real Housewives-style show would work set in the Sengoku-era.

Not exactly the same vibe, but I highly, highly recommend Taiko by Eiji Yoshikawa. It follows Hideyoshi's weird rise to power and has a lot of the same focus of him doing counter-intuitive things and being weirdly convincing while navigating an era of warfare. Plus it is a great read - along with Musashi, by the same author.

I can’t stand the writing style.

It reminds me of Cracked, sort of perfunctory but also like they're actually into it enough to try.

Or an action-comedy.
