Both series are well written and have a fairly gritty setting. Both also see their characters descend into a sort of madness, while for Ainz it is due to most of his emotions being suppressed by the system, for Tanya it is due to both her attempt at furfiling what is required of her while simultaneously trying to rebel against Being X.

they are very similar in concept and tone. Just try them both and I'm sure you'll see what I mean.

Kurata Tsubasa is not your average citizen. Sure, he’s a genius programmer and software engineer, but as far as he’s concerned, his most important trait is that he’s a hardcore mecha nerd. So, what happens when you take that nerd and reincarnate him into a fantastic world of swords and sorcery? Well, you’d think he’d be disappointed...but this world has magical giant robots! Obviously, Tsubasa—reborn as Ernesti Echevalier—now wants to devote his life entirely to these wondrous pieces of technology. But how exactly can young Ernie achieve his ultimate goal of getting his very own mech? He’ll have to rely on his imagination, uninhibited by the common sense of this new world, as well as his extreme dedication and focus! He also might just find help in the form of a rather interesting quirk...
