You know what you're getting based off the back, and it delivers! Mashiro is pretty relatable as far as the first two volumes go, the men are all very appealing and from the looks of it will each get their own time to shine. The world building is pretty good, we get backstory on at least one of the love interests, and the flower fairies are adorable!

So you can say it's bad, but the author is telling the story they want to tell, and if that's not the story you don't want to read, that's cool. But it's far from poorly written and the art ... is beautiful. It's not perfect, but it's pretty damn great!

This is a shoujo fantasy version of "worlds end harem".

Plot
Girl gets hunted by truck-kun into a coma, and she wakes up 2000 years later to be welcomed by 4 handsome demi-human males. Except her, all humanity is extinct because earth merged with an Isekai, and the magic particles from the Isekai are toxic for humans. The only counter is to receive the fluids of demi-humans (almost like gods). The demi-humans are also trying to impregnate her, for the sake of birthing heroes who will prosper their respective kingdoms and fight off the gods of misfortune.

Review
This is a shoujo manga. And it panders shamelessly ... to female fantasy.
Basically, one by one, she will make these 4 men fall in love with her using shoujo logic of "I can fix him".
The chapters slowly progress like your average ecchi manga. First, she must kiss to receive saliva to counter the celestigens. Then, she receives oral. And finally, sex too.
The main problem though.. is that its all censored. I have no idea why a smut manga of all things cannot draw nipples.
The plot is decent for what is essentially a hentai.
There's also lots of sexy scenes, but due to censorship, all of those scenes feel bland and a waste of space.
There's also a lot of rapey vibes, because almost every one of the males is trying to impregnate her one way or the other.

Its not really worth reading imo. The only advantage is the intriguing plot and the mystery of Isekai.

Imagine waking up in a world where you're the only human female alive and the leaders of four kingdoms surround you. Sounds like a shoujo dream. However, the main girl is scared of men. This could work for a story, but these elite men are extremely horny and are fighting to be the first one to breed with her. None of them care about her and the entire story has rapey vibes.

There could be some nuance in a story about diplomats taking advantage of girl and her fight to survive and come out on top. Outbride, however, frames it as a rape fantasy that didn't ... want to be a hentai. The men claim they won't do anything without her consent, but all of them so often push forward regardless of her revoking consent mid-way. That's if she even gave consent to begin with! They have to be interrupted by another guy who yells about consent when that guy will attempt to rape her later.

All of the men are bad, but I especially hate the Seriphum. He's this holier-than-thou (heh) asshole who is arguably the most rapey. He has this idea that because he saved himself for her, she needs to save herself for him. He gets pissy about it and it's framed like we're supposed to feel bad for him.

In the end, I just wanted to warn people to stay away from this series. I'm not convinced that it'll get better.
