Synopsis

Tanya Degurechaff is a soldier who has the appearance of an innocent young girl. But behind her cute facade lies the soul of a ruthless salaryman who challenged "Being X"—the self-proclaimed God who reincarnated the man into an industrial world of magic. By doing this, Being X hopes to prove that, if the situation were dire enough, even a non-believer like this man would pray for God's help.

Opposing Being X's desires to make her suffer, Tanya enlists in the military with the hope of living a peaceful life. She manages to impress the higher-ups with her aptitude for war, swiftly rising through the ranks. However, her country soon participates in the ongoing world war, quickly crushing her dream. In an attempt to return to her calm she starts using any merciless means to obliterate her opponents. Thus begins the saga of Tanya the Evil and the Empire as they seek world domination.

Manipulating politics?
Deitailed Magic system?

But yeah, this is awesome, and so is the anime, but this has a lot more focus on the philosophy of war. In the anime, Tanya just seems to know about certain things like military tactics/strategy, but in this you actually see that she is actually just remembering the historical battles in her original timeline/world and applying that to where ...

i bought this light novel with a high expect after i watched the anime but it's just a big DISAPPOINTMENT. My review will base on the fact that I've watched and love the anime.

There are some issues with the light novel that make me very bored when I read it

-If you watched the anime and want to read about the fights in the LN I have to say sadly there is none or very little of it. In the LN it will be like this
Tanya reviceived an order -> mumbling in her head about some thing for 1 page -> meet her team > mumbling ...
