Idk if I'd say it went that much deeper than the Manga on its themes but the lack of visual exposition and the mangas cartoony comedy segments certainly made for denser reading.
It might be a bit unfair to say LN was super serious in comparison though.
The tragic comedy that is the...
I'd say the main thing the anime was missing is the subtext.
It had all the major narrative points of the LN but the light novel is actually quite heavy and goes into great depth on the internal thoughts of Tanya and the people around her that adds a lot to illustrating their motivations and...
Chapter 82 should put you at the morning they depart for the current journey, though it can be nice to read a few chapters before to catch any differences between the WN and manga.
Tbf the important revelation imo is that while Justus absolutely took advantage of the framing situation and Harold, he didn't have a grand plan to orchestrate the events that led up to it which means there's someone else in the kingdom with a lot of power over the government targeting Harold...

Older areas with more history in Britain and elsewhere do try to preserve the aesthetic by maintaining old structures like that bridge and gas-lamp style streetlights (Just wire them up internally like any other streetlight).
Plenty of streets and bridges around that look like that still
iirc from the novels her keen passive observation of her surroundings that allowed her to spot the grenadier WAS something that she only noticed because of her 'pro gamer' mindset, its her lack of any actual training for that kind of situation that meant she handled it rather poorly.
