One of the reasons I really liked My Next Life as a Villainess is that it doesn't do this at all. Canon-Katarina is a useless earth mage. Bakarina is...a useless earth mage. She becomes a pretty good gardener, but that's because she spends literally years working at becoming a gardener. If I spent ages 8 to 17 learning gardening, I'd probably get pretty good at it, too. And even then it's not like she's magicking up supercrops or anything; she's just good enough to grow edible food.
She technically has the superpower of "I know what's going to happen later in this Otome game, and I know all the character backstories, so I have to take steps to avoid my canon death!", but the thing is that all the horrible things that happened to canon-Katarina, happened because she was a horrible person. So even if Bakarina had no idea what was going on, she *still* probably would've ended up coming out on top (or at least achieving her goal of not dying/being exiled), simply by virtue of being a nicer person. No bullshit MC powers needed, just simple kindness and making better life choices.
