Defy The Alpha(s)

Two centuries after the Great War, peace between humans and werewolves was finally achieved, or so everyone believes. Werewolves reign like gods, and humans remain blissfully unaware of their true place in the new world order. To maintain this fragile balance, each year, a handful of "lucky" humans are selected from various districts to attend Lunaris Academy, a prestigious institution that promises glory, status, and a chance to mingle with the elite. Those chosen are hailed as the lucky few, destined to marry powerful alphas and rise as luna. This year, Violet Purple is among the chosen, much to everyone's surprise. For an orphaned girl adopted by a disgraced prostitute, this is a golden ticket to a better life or so she's told. But Lunaris Academy isn’t the paradise it’s painted to be. Everything Violet and her fellow humans have been taught is a lie. Humans are far from equal; they're pawns in a much larger game. The academy is nothing but a gilded cage, and the students are lambs led to slaughter, playthings for the alphas to toy with in their ruthless games. To make matters worse, Violet catches the attention of the most dangerous players in this game, the Terror Four: the Alpha of the North, Alpha of the South, Alpha of the East, and Alpha of the West. Each one is more dangerous, more twisted, and more powerful than the last. But even among themselves, the alphas are divided, each with their own deadly ambitions. Yet, they all have their eyes on her. They expect Violet to play along, to fall in line like the others who worship at their feet, to break under their games. But Violet isn’t like the others. She refuses to bow. She’ll defy them all.

I like these kind of fics which are mix of moderate system content and new plot Specially in Harry Potter. It's good that she doesn't get too strong too fast but also doesn't feel like getting beaten by everyone like American protagonist.( usually in American novels protagonist is weaker than antognist and reverse for Chinese light novels)

My complaint or criticism is that the dialogue of the characters, most of the times its either cringy, or something that should come from a xanxia or wuxia novel, i'm not saying that its crap or anything, but when reading about people who are obviously american i was maybe hoping they talked more american? But just my opinion and advice is read language helper books that have a set of dialogues for speech

It is without a doubt the best novel about American television series that I have ever seen. If you like this type of novel, you'll surely love this one.It's very noticeable that the author is American and a doctor, so unlike Chinese novels, you won't see the hypocrisy and arrogance they usually have.

Unique and intriguing system, as well as characters. The MC seems to be traveling with a man that would’ve been the main character otherwise. The only minor complaint I can hold for this novel as an American reader is the prevalent Eastern themes that many American readers might not know (geographical categorization, world of cultivation, etc), but even so the author does a good job of making it still mostly understandable for readers. I’ll definitely be looking forward to future chapters 😁

I Have a Book of Investiture of the Gods

Zhao Zheng had transmigrated to a world of immortal cultivation. The cultivators in this world relied on visualizing powerful existences to obtain strength. Some visualized the prehistoric beasts, some visualized the evil spirits, some visualized the sun, moon, and stars, some visualized the mountains, rivers, and seas. All living beings could be visualized. Zhao Zheng was a disciple of Mount Qingping, but he was unable to visualize the Qingping Sword in three years. He was about to be expelled from the sect to work as a laborer. He was really unlucky. One had to know that this was a world of immortal cultivation. Ordinary people could encounter a calamity at any time. Therefore, it was impossible to be a mortal. Only by cultivating could he maintain his life like this. At this moment, a book called " Investiture of the Gods " in Zhao Zheng's mind began to shine with infinite light. It was even a high-definition video version. Countless immortals, demons, and magic treasures and arrays shone within. Hongjun, Three Pure Ones, Lu Ya, Divine Dragon, Qilin, Phoenix, Golden Crow, Star, Heavenly Court, Pangu Banner, Four Immortal Slaying Swords, Primordial Chaos Golden Dipper, and so on. Thus, Zhao Zheng's body flashed and transformed into his true form. He raised his eyes and summoned the immeasurable Grand Sun Primordial Fire. With a wave of his hand, he summoned the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation. In the immeasurable God's seal, I am the most respected in the primordial essence.

In the realm of ninja, the legend is born

Xinggong Ling sat on the seat of honor and looked around at all the evil forces 'clones. She crossed her fingers and placed them under her chin. The mirror reflected a cold light as she said solemnly," A while ago, the vault of the Xiao Organization was robbed. Xiao Nan's 600 billion detonation talisman was stolen. The murderer is among us. I hope that person will take the initiative to step forward." Phantom Dance Shi Wupeng shrugged his shoulders," You know me, my main body. I've been staying in Limitless City every day without leaving my house. I didn't even agree when that bastard, Fate, wanted to pull me out to bask in the sun." The Sacred Lord, who was still in his statue form, said helplessly,"Original body, you understand me. You haven't even returned the talisman to me. Do you think I have the ability to cause trouble like this?" Aizen Yuusuke pushed up his glasses and smiled gently." You know me, my main body. I haven't finished creating the Void Ring and the Corpse Soul World. I don't have time to care about other things." Gudazi spread his hands and said innocently," You know me, main body. If it was us, the Chaldeans, who made a move, it would not be just 600 billion. Even that person is mine." ……
