Tower defense, post-apocalyptic apartment survival, livestreamed slaughter, mysterious dungeons, vehicles and robots, no female lead or one female lead.
Everyone is forcibly transported to a perilous world of red earth. Each person starts with only a ten-square-meter apartment, a bottle of water, and a can of compressed rations. Survival becomes their sole goal.
In this brutal arena, the monsters attacking people grow stronger every day, and elite bosses occasionally appear. But in the apocalypse, the most terrifying things aren't the monsters. It's always the people around you, willing to do anything for resources...
Lin Su, a wage slave, awakens the only hidden talent from the start: [Item Collector]. Every day, he can get three random items for free. With the defensive crossbow he gets from the start and the boost from his talent, he sets up the first automated defense turret outside his apartment. While everyone else is still fighting monsters with wooden clubs, trading blow for blow, and trembling in fear, Lin Su's crossbow has already become a merciless killing machine.
"Ding! Auto-targeting successful." "-300! Critical hit!" As the clear sound of coins dropping rings out, the neighbors stare at the cold crossbow on Lin Su's apartment, glowing faintly, and are filled with awe and admiration...
This talent is linked to the apartment's level, so the resources the protagonist invests in the gate early on can be quickly recouped through the item collector. So far, it's not bad, and overall there aren't any major flaws. I hope the author keeps up the good work and writes more; this anime adaptation should be very good.
