About this listen
When the Alpha Event struck Earth, the rules of reality itself were rewritten. Millions died as the world was transformed into a lethal realm of magic and monsters.
Yet somehow, an overweight, out-of-shape construction supervisor managed not just to survive the apocalypse, but inadvertently became an reluctant hero after saving thousands from one of the many monsters spawned by the mana storm.
Now, Adrian Fitzgerald is slimmed down, leveled-up, and ready for the dangerous journey back home to his wife and kids. But the Interface he's spliced with has other plans. Creatures even deadlier than the Bird are almost certainly threatening survivors on the road to Melbourne, and as Adrian learns more about the rules and systems that govern this new reality, he's called to a duty greater than just his own survival.
Thousands of souls are counting on his newly-acquired strengths and skills, and the Interface is challenging Adrian to choose between his own desires and continuing along the path towards a destiny he'd never realized he'd been capable of.
Which will he choose?
Delay is the second book in Alex Kozlowski's thrilling Alpha Physics series, a powerful post-apocalyptic litRPG saga.

Story
The end of the world as we know it couldn't come at a worse time for Adrian. One minute, he's an operations manager overseeing a construction job in the wilderness. The next, an unknown energy force changes the very nature of life itself, from the smallest organism to the top of the food chain. Earth's surviving inhabitants, its environment, and the very laws of physics have all undergone fundamental transformations. Many of those changes aren't pretty. Plenty of them are deadly.

Fight, survive, adapt, and rely only on yourself. That is Derek’s creed and what's got him through the System Integration on Earth. Everything changed when the System came. Cute bunnies and beautiful butterflies became savage killing machines. Then the Invaders arrived with a single goal: to obtain ownership of this new habitable planet. War has raged ever since. None of this mattered much to Derek, aside from making living a little more perilous.

I hope the author reads my review.
Great book! A bit too complicated with the leveling system. I want an easier explanation of the leveling or paths to think about. Story is exciting, and the characters are filling out. I want the next book as soon as possible. The endings of both books seemed odd to me, but what the heck as long as it's not too short, keep them coming.

The different characters are still hard to differentiate but great story. Definitely worth continuing on with, though sometimes the MC thinks WAY too much.

Good but still it is questionable
This was an enjoyable story with an excellent background but. I have had it up to here with how whiny the main character is. I swear in every chapter he has to whine and whine and whine about something. This is a good story if you can get through the main characters constant internal complaining or regrets. I honestly did not mind that in the beginning because it made him very human but now that two novels have gone by and it hasn’t slowed down one bit it’s just becoming repetitive and depressing. There are many Systems Apocalypse storylines out there, cover the whole range in this genre and since I’ve read a lot of them I distinguish them by nature of the main character. In this one I would classify it as the whiny system apocalypse story.

Decent sequel
Middle got a bit boring but otherwise okay. The MC on the other hand is...not unlikable but...I don't know how to word it exactly, just that he's in his own head to much for my liking. Understandable I guess given the context of the story, just not all that enjoyable for me.

Adrian not quite ready to leave Wagga yet.
I grabbed this up because I'm still curious about Alpha Physics and Adrian the MC. And I found a book that is as good as the first book, Wagga. Also Adrian's plans to leave for Melbourne are delayed as new monster has picked up the hunt for humans where the bird left off, and this time it's going after magic users. Adrian really doesn't want to leave Wagga in the lurch. All the while he keeps leveling up!
Plus Adrian who's always had issues with his system interface (AI) finally has it out with it. The fight for control ended in a stalemate and they've come to a uneasy truce.
It's truly amazing how quickly I'm absorbed by the action and fighting. Making this truly a fun and addictive series to latch onto. And I betcha that you can't read just one!

I really like the world and the system, but the characters. The MC is annoying. Constantly dithering on details that don't seem to matter, and another cases making brash choices. "Safety first".
