It's not a question of if, but when and who.

Albedo is gonna probably be the first, because she is gonna have a grudge against Aqua for having anti-undead powers and she is a mere god compared to the supreme beings, who have slain such things before (in the mmo).
And Albedo is probably going to be the most beautiful girl in the room, and she can and will probably lord her supreme being-given assets over aqua's petite assets.

If not her, then Tanya with her grudge against god will do so.

What I've seen of Tanya is fun.

A ruthless Tokyo hatchetman poo poo-talks God as he dies, so he's reincarnated as a Magical Girl in alternate universe WWI. Flashman and Cain style difficulties in finding a nice, safe posting away from the front ensue, only instead of having an affable scumbag or an actually heroic sort, Tanya's the sort of person who writes papers on how the latest plan technically isn't a war crime.

But, really. Peaceloving and calm person. We swear.

Tanya just wants a cushy post in the rear lines where she can kick back and really enjoy her new life in [definitely not nazi Germany] but God is a spiteful cock and has essentially forced her to become the magical equivalent of the unholy fusion of Joan of Arc and the Red Baron.

The Saga of tanya the evil light novel has occasional interludes taking place in a postwar 'present' where some journalists try to figure out this mystery of a unknown mage unit not in records and the 'devil of the rhine'.

Tanya was so monstrous that all sides after the war decided to forget her and classified/hid/destroyed records of her.

Well thats just speculation i think. Its possible she simply had enough influence at the end of the war to just ask everyone forget her. Its still unclear why shes a big secret really.

It's actually kinda fun to spot the little references to actual WW1 that the author sprinkles in.

Tanya's more likely to succeed. Aqua lives in a house with Darkness and doesn't worry about her breast size. (Honestly, seeing her around Darkness is the only reason you could describe her setup as petite). The god bit is tricky too, because Kazuma has played MMOs, and that background basically just means Ainz is a lovely loser NEET like Scumzuma. (Him actually having a job will do nothing to dissuade Aqua's logic.)

Tanya, meanwhile, shits on gods in general, and doesn't have any easy levers for Aqua to assert her superiority.

Same with Overlord and Log Horizon. And Overlord and Sword Princess Altina. I'm not sure how true it is, but apparently they had (or have?) a big Isekai Author D&D game going on.

Not really, since they all have their own sub-genre.

The other shows attempt a more serious or darker take on the genre. Which is why its going to be fun watching them interact with the Konosuba gang.

It should only show the loops where Subaru makes it through, from everyone else's perspective. So he just randomly becomes way more skilled and always has an idea of what is going on and knows your name despite just meeting.

Aqua should notice, since she's a goddess, but no-one believes her because she's Aqua.

Pretty much, yeah. Also, while Overlord and Youjo Senki can be fun despite comedy not being their main genre, I would recommend you to be somewhat careful with Re:Zero because, while I'm not about to spoil it for you, it does have some elements of Horror which... y'know, aren't just there for show.

I am sure Tanya will love mentally abusing Aqua as she is proof that while their may be divine beings, that does not mean that they deserve to be worshiped.
