Tanya isn't really that great. It's good, but I expected it to be more ruthless and blatant in its nazism


not this shit again.
dude, it's German Imperialism (aka WW I German), not Nazism (WW II German).

Yeah I remembered some time after my post but didn't bother fixing it because I thought everybody just skimmed my long posts as usual. But it doesn't make any of my points less true. And it being based on WWI weakens the story and is still pussyfooting like I said. And it's still a heavily flawed and backbone-less series where the concept of it being an isekai barely matters. Him being a little girl also has 0 relevance to the story and says a lot about the author's mindset when writing this. People make this series out to be way better than it actually is just because it's different and has a pretense of being about ruthlessness


the series is nicknamed "tales of Tanya the misunderstood" amongst the fan. the ruthlessness, or should i call "edginess" is not the main charm.
it's just an old anime/manga cliche that the main character being misunderstood by the people around him/her and they think the mc is more badass than s/he actually is.

You're saying a lot of things that also has absolutely nothing to do with all that I wrote about it. In fact, I literally refute those things in the very first post I made. Tanya's premise COULD have been something that's "edgy" or at the very least an interesting exploration of an alternate history brought on by a sudden great power that didn't exist in our history. But it's pretty obvious later on with all of its misunderstanding gags and Tanya's inconsistent personality and uncharacteristically unambitious actions despite starting the story with wanting to freaking prove god wrong that the author simply lost track of his own series.

Like just think about it. It doesn't matter if I confused it being based on which war or whether or not Tanya is or isn't a badass because I already established it in my posts lol. What matters is that despite who Tanya really is, the series is a mess of unexplored potential and a lack of ambition in both the writing and its characters. If you're not gonna make it about facing the war head on to disprove god's judgment upon him, why even write the story like this in the first place? Why even start the story as an isekai or even establish who he was in his previous life? None of it matters after like the first arc.

Would the story be any different if a genius girl with 0 ambitions made her way into the army for a magical WWI and did everything that happened in Youjo Senki? Absolutely not. But at least in that case, you wouldn't have to worry about writing a story that's aimed to have Germany win it in the end
