Protip: Save up, buy a dedicated freezer. Like a "redneck hunter's garage" style one. Nothing fancy, just a white box with a dial on the front for how cold you want it. Cheaper than the fancy flashy fridge freezer combos, and much more usable space (although you have to stack stuff inside). A lot cheaper than you'd expect. They also come in a variety of sizes, from small to "I need space for three bodies".

    Drawback, you'll likely have to defrost those regularly.

    Defrosting isn't a big deal. I decide what I want to eat tomorrow, I take it out the freezer and put it in the fridge, by the time I want to eat its defrosted and good to reheat.

    Edit: ignore me, I was thinking of defrosting food not defrosting the ice build-up in the freezer

    Awesome. Where should I put it? I live in a small apartment. My kitchen is the size of a shoebox.

    If you have space for like a bedside table, or a coffee table, or even a table table, you have space for a small chest freezer. It doesn't necessarily have to be in the kitchen.

    Looks like the average small ones are only about 3.5 cubic feet. I've rarely seen 1.2 cubic feet ones as well.

    That said, if all you have is one of those small kitchenettes with barely enough space for a microwave, you're kind of kneecapped in terms of food prep in other ways as well.
