The Saga of Tanya the Merciless

Have you ever wondered what makes a perfect military system? What happens when efficiency is pursued not just as a goal, but as an art form? What if the greatest horrors of war came not from hatred or cruelty, but from pure, practical logic?

This historically-grounded reimagining of the "The Saga of Tanya the Evil" series strips away magic to expose something far more terrifying: human ingenuity pushed to its absolute limits.

Through the lens of multiple characters caught in the machinery of War, we witness the emergence of a new kind of warfare - one where every action, every casualty, even every act of mercy serves a carefully calculated purpose. As Allied forces struggle to maintain their foothold in occupied Europe, they find themselves facing not just German resistance, but a system that turns their very humanity against them.

At its heart, "The Machinery of Necessity" asks what price we pay for perfect efficiency. Where is the line between optimization and obsession? Between necessity and horror? Between genius and madness?

A meditation on war, systematic thinking, and the cost of progress, this first volume examines what happens when we optimize a process past the point of humanity - and what remains of us when efficiency becomes its own kind of weapon.

Welcome to a world where the greatest threats aren't the monsters we fear, but the systems we create.
