After some thought I don‘t think 33 volumes are too much anymore. If J-Novel club license it, it will also get a digital release, which doesn‘t take much space, so I don‘t see a reason why this novel shouldn‘t get licensed.
If JNC licence it, it would be digital before anything and maybe physical one day. But space isn't really the problem with licensing long series, the real issue is that you can't really stop translating it once you've started (well you could but it would mean loosing customers and jp publishers' faith). So if you license a long series you may end up trapped translating volume for a price higher than what you can gains from it, for a very long time.
There are many isekai and adventure novels, who have much more volumes and still get licensed, so why not this one too.
Maybe they exist but I can't think of any licensed isekai or adventure novels which come close to 33 volumes, aside from Rokujouma but this one had special circumstances.
And all the longer series recently licensed like Highschool DxD (25 vol) or Mushoku tensei (22 vol), had massive fan base which justified takking the risk, something that novel doesn't really seems to have.
The series seems interesting so I also hope it can one day be licensed but I don't think just JNC establishing a shoujo label is enough to get your hopes up.
