Shinigami wo Tabeta Shoujo
Author is Nanasawa Matari.
2 volumes as a whole, finished.
That's a very surprising novel. For starter, the MC could be considered as being part of the "evil side" of the war, since from what we see the opposite side seems (mostly) closer to what you would call good peoples than all those generals and strategists in her side who are just power hungry. Furthermore, she could be said to be at the very least as evil as them since she basically only cares about eating good stuff and killing rebels. She doesn't stop at killing civilian either if they helped rebels. She's a true butcher, a savage and unstoppable beast on the battlefield, and the soldier she leads are fanatics that believe in the final victory or their regiment and of their leader, blindly slaughtering anything she orders them to. You could say she's like a "dark Joan of Arc" in fact.

That's a very refreshing position for a MC, really. The strategies used are quite nice too, although a bit too simple. As the story goes on, even though the MC is unstoppable and her regiment mostly win, she fins herself more and more cornered since even though her regiment achieve successfully their task in the battle, the battles are more often lost than won. This brings up an overpowered character who feel more and more cornered even though she doesn't especially lose herself.

It was very interesting until the end. Shera was really a twisted character until the end lol. I like her two faces played during the whole story, of a young girl liking to eat with others, and of an implacable, unstoppable and crazy warmonger/butcher. That was played right by the author, who bring here the question of what is really a "hero" as well as what is a human, and what is a monster. That story studies the reaction of peoples around such a character in an interesting manner.

Truly a good story to read, really refreshing in the way it's made.

NB : It has a prequel as well, that needs to be read afterwards, which is also finished with two volumes.
