About this listen
High above the blood- and mud-soaked trenches, a young girl pits herself against army mages in high stakes aerial duels with bullets, spells, and bayonets. Her name is Tanya Degurechaff and she is the Devil of the Rhine, one of the greatest soldiers the Empire has ever seen!
But inside her mind lives a ruthless, calculating ex-salaryman who enjoyed a peaceful life in Japan until he woke up in a war-torn world. Reborn as a destitute orphaned girl with nothing to her name but memories of a previous life, Tanya will do whatever it takes to survive, even if she can find it only behind the barrel of a gun!

Alright, i went into this not really caring about it, as i got it with the monthly token.
tl;dr; good story, reasonable va, good performance, terribly subpar production
The story: the story is good. I like it, i'm an isekai trash. that's about it.
The translation: as per usual, the translation is inferior to fan translation. This is normal for anime, therefore i'd never recommend buying it as a physical book unless you can read Japanese.
The voice actor: she's good. Her range as others have said, is not word class, but it's good enough for this story. Seemingly she lacks experience reading up for a long time. Chapters have a noticeable volume change as her voice tired out & got some time to rest between chapters. I'd argue it's not on her Too bad she's changed in the next one.
The production: this is where everything goes to hell. While the VA did her job reasonably well, whoever coordinated the production is a totally unfit for the job.
1: The VA got tired between chapters and the volume difference is extremely jarring. It's not reasonable tho ask ANYBODY to speak for a long time, especially if it's recorded. This should have been managed BEFORE the actual production, and at worst in post. It would have taken less then a day to fix these issues by re-recording segments.
2: whoever had the idea that FOOTNOTES should be read up in the middle of a chapter have clearly never thought about the listening experience. Take note of how this is handled with this book: 48 Laws of Power, By: Robert Greene, Narrated by: Richard Poe. While you may disagree with the premise of the book, the way footnotes and stories and handled are stellarly tailored to an optimal listening experience. I should know, as i own the book in real copy too.
A good story, plagued by inexcusable production

Fantastic

This one was a joy to listen to especially as the narrator is the Dub VA.
My only notes are she does the tanya voice for Victoria so if you lose focus you can lose track of which character she is voicing. I slap hope they’ll bring in other VA’s from the Anime to give it a more lively feel
Brilliant listen

the light novel flesh out tanya a lot more, she is very morally gray and the light novel have some really good scenes that the anime unfortunately skipped (24h artillery rain). the generals get a lot more time in the light novel and their inner monologue about tanya makes her a lot more terrifying than in the anime.
can be a bit difficult to get into

The constant economics reference is odd

Childish dialogue (even from adults) - arguments between characters boil down to them repeating "no u".
Really quiet narration, in contrast to loud direct speech.
Painfully dragged out and silly
