I gave it 1 star because there are too many plot holes and MC is not acting like how I expected her to be. Here are a few examples:

• MC trusting words of strangers.
• MC sleeps in an unknown house defenseless.
• MC giving strangers (something similar to) keys to her base.
• And plot holes on almost every chapter so far.

Those aren't behaviors of an adult who have lived for 10 years in an apocalyptic world and had seen "the worse sides of humanity." She's acting like a naive child but some people called her a wise person. The adventure story might be okay but there's a lot of inconsistencies and plot holes for it to be a good story.

It feels unfair for the only review here to be so negative, so I felt compelled to leave one myself.

Do I think this story is perfect? No, but few are. The pace can be a bit inconsistent, and there are a few too many commas, but overall I've quite enjoyed the story thus far. There are times where Celia makes some questionable decisions, and puts a bizarre amount of trust into complete strangers, but in her defense she's in an unfamiliar world, and being in the body of a child is throwing off her rationality (she doesn't stay as a child for too long, in case that's a concern). Plus, if a stupid decision works out well, can you really call it stupid?

Anyway, I'd say give the story a try. It's cute, it's gay, and it has an interesting setting, with some fickle higher beings messing with the poor little mortals.

What a rubbish system. Despite literally having a feature to increase EXP based on level difference, it actively and intentionally punishes people for succeeding in difficult challenges such as defeating creatures more than a couple levels above their own. What kind of 1984 doublethink cognitive dissonance bullsh*t is this?

The author could easily have made it that defeating something with such a big level difference is not possible. Instead it's easy, but you get actively punished for it. How does that make sense or seem interesting to read?

Now there's no incentive or reason to try anything cool, to bother fighting strong things, or attempt anything interesting or exceptional; conform to slow, boring progression within your own level range or get kicked in the balls.

I can't imagine what a dull isekai this will be with such a limiting, anti-helpful System.

It's okay if you're looking for a light read, though I can't say I like how the author handled the MC's personality or the evolution system.

- The MC is supposed to be an English teacher who lived through the apocalypse and even built or helped build a base, yet they don't have the personality I'd expect whatsoever. Instead, if I were told the MC was a suburban teenager who was Isekaied at the onset of the apocalypse I'd be inclined to believe you.

- the evolution system:

The Story is a very good read if you can get past the early stages of the novel, since the first few chapters are a bit slow, and are mostly inconsequential to the later story (at least as far as I've read) as well as certain character personality design and how MC acts. First volume can be hard to read, if your used to the other novels on the site, although it gets much better after.

Furthermore, most things that can be considered "plot holes" or "personality issues that don't fit MC based off description" will be explained in later chapters properly.

Personally, I would recommend reading the authors other story's, if you do fully plan on reading the entirety of this story, as to get an idea of what to expect when reading the story

I would normally only give this 4 stars, for reasons I'll get to, but I felt it necessary to balance out the sentiments of the people that unfairly underrated it.  In short: Ruti is correct.

Complaint 1, according to commentary, is that there are plot holes and character inconsistencies.  Well, no, there are neither.  The problem is that if we explain any of them it will spoil the plot for you.  Remember that there's time travel and fate nonsense at work.

Complaint 2, per commentary, is that there's a lot of random and illogical changes in direction with the plot.  If you are Celia, you'd probably agree... you'd also remember there are higher beings messing with them.  So far every case of her power being nerfed has turned out to have a perfectly valid plot reason due to one of the many concentric rings of background conspiracies and conflicts.  The opening makes it clear that Celia is starting from the bottom of the food chain and always finding bigger fish above her, something she's unlikely to rid herself of any time soon.

Complaint 3, per reviews, is... "I can't understand the point of including an evolution system if the MC just becomes a human??"... this, so far as I can tell, is an artefact of Western / monothesistic thinking.  By that I mean cultures with those traits have an odd limit towards assuming that human is the point of powering up.  How many Western comicbook superheroes can you think of that aren't some variation on "mortal human with upgrades"?  Even Superman's a normal Kryptonian mortal.

I could say a lot more on that, and have, but it's not relevant to this novel.  What is relevant is the question "Why would human be where she stops?"  Its an evolution system and basic human is just the most basic non-monster humanoid.  The rankng applied to it also conveys that humns are the most adaptable non-magic species.

As to why I would normally knock a star off... this is hundreds of chapters of dyslexic writing with little correction after scheduling.  There's no shortage of spelling and grammar errors.  That being said, it's not unreadably bad and the antics of the characters largely makes up for it. Just know that if errors bothers you this might not be the one for you.
