An apocalyptic slice-of-life, this time with bees. MC has an extreme hyperfixation on bees. When higher beings turn the world into something like "Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint" with video-game like abilities and deadly country-wide quests, MC gains a unique class dedicated to beekeeping. Despite being like animal rearing/crafting/foraging focused he makes items he can use to make him OP and fight monsters. An internet-like community server that connects all the players means he can also sell items and get rich.

Notable for having an MC that like just doesn't care much about other people and isn't altruistic, but also isn't nihilistic or anti-social. He has no problems price-gauging and putting poor people at a disadvantage where only corrupt rich people can buy his OP products, but he's also willing to help people if it's convenient, will try to trust others, and feels better living in a group of people. The narration notes that he's weird about bees, like putting the lives of bees above other people even before the end times came. There's are some throwaway details that suggest something was up with MC's life before the apocalypse happened too, considering his lack of care about the sudden end of the world, his disinterest in what's happening to the rest of humanity and their lives or deaths, how he was already living alone in a forest that's so far away from where people live no one notices his presence, and the interesting personality of the one other person from his orphanage we see.

Emphasis on "slice-of-life." Has a lot descriptions of items, skills, and bees. Even when there is monster fighting the actual fight isn't described in detail, so it's not really an action series. There's a lot of *description of society collapsing as monsters attack and people start killing indiscriminately* - scene change - *MC referring to his bees as his children and making honey tea*. As of chapter 58 there's some kind of plot too, and it's getting increasingly more interesting. You like fantasy item crafting stuff? You like bees? You think this sounds interesting? Than you should read it.
