Tanya is prefect evidence of why humans aren't smart enough for satire. The author's a leftist, as far as I know. Tanya's supposed to be mocking fascism and neoliberalism, which goes right over a lot of people's heads. It's more obvious if you read the books, because you see more of Tanya's thoughts.
Anyone going into Bookworm needs to put on their historical materialist hat. The show is critical of feudalism, but also puts capitalism as it's opposition, and does not critique capitalism. Just be warned if you're going into the show expecting something you can uncritically agree with politically.
I have a few comments about some of these:

I mean, technically Feudalism is worse than capitalism, but yeah the capitalist realism of the main character is honestly annoying.
