At the time of writing this, there are only 3 chapters out.

Because the series so far are the same I'm gonna use the same review,

In this one, the art style is more moe. Also, the MC's backstory is expanded on in this version of the manga than the other. You get to see her grow up and invent her frist two inventions. This version also follows the LN more closely than the other.

The premise of the manga is nothing new in the isekai genre. Staring the story off by having the MC's engagement fall though is commonplace for isekai's with female leads. However, I do like the fact that the MC isn't a princess or the daughter of some noble. Yes, she is the daughter of a famous inventor. However, she has built up her reputation through her own capabilities and hard work.

The MC is a strong independent woman who don't need no man. Which is a nice change. Most female-driven isekais have the success of the MC driven around a relationship with a male counterpart. This is even true for most strong-willed and powerful heroines that I read. So it is really nice to see that the MC's success isn't driven by the MC's relationship with the pretty boy Knight.

From looking at what people are saying about the LN, this should grow into a nice series. Looking forward to how it plays out.

reviewed @ch20 (end of vol4 manga, I'm guessing into LN2)

First, I love the art. It's just great, very cute and detailed at times and suits the tone of the series.

The series is mostly about our lead character inventing things and steadily building her name as an inventor and building her trading company, with the assistance of friends of her father, one or two of her friends and the male lead.

As such you could see it as part business fiction, part tech-uplift (but the tech isn't revolutionising) part slice-of-life.

the main thing I find lacking is I wish it went harder on the magic system i.e. how magic works, how the tools work, etc. We touch on it, but not enough imo, and mostly we see the physics of it rather than the core magical side of it. I suspect this information is in the light novels, which I intend to read now (like I just checked and ch 19 cuts out a conversation where someone mentions how limbs are regrown in field medicine)

It's definitely a fun read. I'm not surprised to learn there's actually an anime of this coming out this year.
If I hadn't already read what I assume is 4 or 5 episodes worth already, I'f probably wait to see it animated. But as is, I think I'm going to dive into the LNs (there's 8 or 9 currently TLed)
