Another disappointing lineup from JNC. I guess the disowned Queen detective agency novel sounds interesting…

Also not familiar with what DRECOM offers

Sumo Wrestle Villainess? Yeah, okay.

The Noble Detective lady sounds really interesting.

Outbreak Company! There's a blast from the past.

I've been really enjoying the Slow Life High Elf manga, so hopefully they bring that and put the LN to print.
Love the story's use of time when it comes the the very long life of the Elf compared to others.

Grand Sumo Villainess

I would recommend giving this title another look. Sure it sounds silly, but I found their concept of the skill to be interesting; and probably one of the biggest surprises for the actual villains of this set piece.

Considering how often villainesses turn to either magic or swordplay, I actually find the idea of a physical sport kinda refreshing. I'm all in for the sumo one, and the karate one, besides! And any potential mysteries series warrants at least a cursory glance, naturally. Laughing

Considering how many overpowered male otaku MC isekais we've gotten over the years I'm down with Japan making as many villianness light novels as they want.
