This looks great! Having looked at the manga the MC reminds me a bit of Rimi from Culinary Chronicles

Cover illustrations for volumes 2 and 3

I love villainess stories and it's interesting that her power gets nerfed, I haven't read a lot of LNs where the MC's power goes down after being sent to their second life

I've been reading a Fan translation of the WN for this...

This story is similar to Trapped in a Dating Sim: The World of Otome Games is Tough for Mobs, but much shorter, and without the harem elements for the male MC.

Given the length of the WN, I would say it might be 4 volumes at the most.

Now for the fun part:
The MC is a former aerospace engineer with wind magic and a crazy alchemy ability that lets him build anything as long as he has a blueprint and materials.

However, he has almost no ambition besides preventing a potential war (and maybe winning the hand of the "villainess," whom he has a crush on).

do jnovel translate Korean?

Not at this time.

Upvote!

It sounds quite interesting and the art is lovely too.

One of the OG, yeah. No Reincarnation / Otome game, but it seems to be the progenitor of the modern Villainess sub-genre. Released in Web Novel form in 2012, two years earlier than Bakarina from what I could tell.

Seems nice and the art style is beautiful. Please license it.

Considering there's now a Kadokawa pipeline, this would make a good addition to J-Novel Heart.
