★★★★★ 4.5
Thanks for the story so far. Looking forward to see where you go with this. :) Likable character. Interesting world slowly been developed. Like how her affinities affect he interactions and nature. The very occasional proof read needed, but thoughtful and well written. Nice to see a thoughtful, brave, cute and intriguing female protagonist with a healthy splash of reckless determination to spice up the action.

Style Score : 5/5
I'm not one to judge style. It's fairly simplistic but works well. It's decently paced imo (pretty fast, but at least it doesn't fall in the pit of never-ending descriptions). There is a little action or interesting tidbit every chapter, so you never feel bored.
Story Score : 4/5
The story ok, the start is pretty much isekai standard. I give 4/5 because the powerscaling somehow feels off (so no perfect score), not because the scales are off but because of how fast the main character is climbing it, despite not having overwhelming "cheat" powers like most isekai MCs do (And I'll add that she is too strong for how little of her kit she actualy uses, which I'll talk about in the first spoiler of the character score).
Grammar Score : 4/5
The grammar is decent, some mistakes here and there, some switched up words and some things lost on the way (notably the author forgets the "'ll" in "I'll" or "we'll" in some dialogue), but it's readable without any real hassle. Not the author first language from what I understand so good job.
Character Score : 3,5/5
Now that is one point were I was a bit disappointed (even though I scored it pretty well). Overall the cast is good. The MC follows the trope of the beaten dog (been stuck ill in an hospital bed her all life prior to being isekai'd). She's headstrong and learn from her new experiences, doesn't mop about and makes choices > All that makes her pretty rootable (and likable).
Now going back on her powers :
The only "cheat" she seems to have received is an innate connection to nature, apparently one of the rarest if not the rarest affinity in the world (one character tells her she's probably the only person in the world with such power). All plant things seems to respond to her and willing to do things without her having to ask for them. It's the first magic she uses, the one which is repeatedly said to be the most natural to her.... and she barely uses it.
For real, I was so stoked at the beginning of the stor
