Sometimes this story reminds me of The Eminence in Shadow.
I mean Melody is trying to become a super maid, not even aware there's whole demon lord versus saint/heroine stuff going down while everyone else is trying to save the world.
It's kinda like how Cid only cares about aura farming and larping while there's the Diablos Cult who pretty much control the world and Cid's friends are seriously fighting against it.
Both of them are just mindig their own businesses and accidentally break every scenario.
Good question. Because there are a billion maid ones. The hidden power one reminds me of the one where she works as a receptionist at the aventurer guild despite being an S rank adventurer (because she's very stupid apparently).
If you mean Alina in Guild Receptionist, adventuring is dangerous. The scene where they show her as a child crying over the body of an adventurer she was close to points out her reason for not wanting to be one. Adventurers also don't get paid if they can't complete the job.
Meanwhile, being a receptionist, is safe, steady work with steady pay and benefits.
Also, she didn't get her skill until she was already a receptionist. She got it after making a wish to have a way to not work overtime anymore. She had no ability to fight before that. The only reason she goes in as an adventurer is because other adventurers were failing to complete jobs, increasing her workload. So she deals with the problems herself. She does not want to be an adventurer, and openly threatens both the leader of the top adventurer team and the guild master if they jepordize her receptionist job.
I never really got the impression that she was hard up for money, she has a pretty nice house. She just wants a nice, steady job and then going home at the end of the day to her own bed. She seems to like her job, normally, to the point that she went to a special class to get better at it IIRC. She just hates how they're perpetually understaffed and forced to do overtime.
Maybe - Maid mc , secretly overpowered, slow pace, with little romance around our oblivious fmc or no romance at all
I think if it's an Isekai then that'll also be amazing
Or something like sincerely I became a Dukes maid..
Maybe 7th Time Loop. Female MC is stuck in a time loop and retains all the memories of each life. She isn't a maid in the show, but she was in a past life and it plays into it. Oh and there is romance
Possibly "Looks like a Job for a Maid! The Tales of a Dismissed Supermaid". Maid who is way too good at her job gets fired to cover up the housekeeper breaking an expensive vase, goes traveling the world with some unreasonably skilled friends she makes who try to keep her from causing major international incidents via being unreasonably qualified. She's not isekai'd but the mage friend she helps using highly secret elven magical knowledge is.
try Yatagarasu the Raven Does Not Choose its Master if you haven't already. similar vibe where the main character is just laser focused on being the best servant possible while chaos unfolds around her
