The biggest difference between Youjo Senki and Shuumatsu no Izetta is the motive and allegiance of the main character. Izetta is driven by loyalty to her Princess and fights for the underdog Kingdom of Elystadt. Major Degurechaff on the other hand fights for the domineering Empire and does so for selfish motives only. For this reason I feel that Youjo Senki is the superior series. The major is psychopathic and brilliant in combat while Izetta rather detests needing to fight but does so for a greater cause. This makes being in the mind of the major far more interesting and less common for a main character. However that aside they are extremely similar, taking place in similar time settings in a European setting. Magic exists in both worlds although in Shuumatsu no Izetta it is only used by witches which are nigh extinct while in Youjo Senki magic affinity is common although the degree of talent can vary widely. Both main characters are virtual 1-woman armies unto themselves, their combat standing in their respective series is almost that high. Anyway, my intent is not to bore or spoil you. The point is that they bear a great many similarities with each other.
