This one sounds interesting. I hope J-Novel Club grabs this novel as well, and maybe the manga, as I really like Unwanted Undead Adventurer. It's neat to see this story trope being used with a female lead as well, and so I'm definitely keeping an eye out on this one.

Actually, "villainess gets a do-over" is very common these days. Especially in Korean webtoons.
What sets this one apart is that she doesn't go back to when she was a kid, but when she's already a mother.

Revived villainess who is also a mom? That sounds pretty interesting.

Good to know. Clearly, I'm not up to date on the tropes that are going on. I knew of a couple villainess gets reincarnated, but not that "second chance" had become a big one for them too.

Tearmoon Empire and I Swear I Won't Bother You Again are two other examples off the top of my head that have official English releases.

As good as the story for UUA is, the author’s writing for the narration is soooo bad… Like the MC’s monologues just go on and on about irrelevant things and take up too much of the word count, meaning not much happens in each book. Hopefully they’re getting better with this series.

Damn, it only started in 2020? That's sure a quick adaptation.
Well, it's nice to have one of these villainess do over stories with an adult protag. Most of them either go back to baby or around 6-10 year olds.
