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.

Défier Les Alpha(s)

Deux siècles après la Grande Guerre, la paix entre les humains et les loups-garous a finalement été atteinte, du moins tout le monde le croit. Les loups-garous règnent comme des dieux, et les humains restent dans une ignorance bienheureuse de leur véritable place dans le nouvel ordre mondial. Pour maintenir cet équilibre fragile, chaque année, une poignée d'humains "chanceux" sont sélectionnés dans divers districts pour assister à l'Académie Lunaris, une institution prestigieuse qui promet gloire, statut et une chance de côtoyer l'élite. Ceux qui sont choisis sont acclamés comme les quelques chanceux, destinés à épouser de puissants alphas et à s'élever en tant que luna. Cette année, Violet Purple est parmi les élus, à la surprise de tous. Pour une fille orpheline adoptée par une prostituée déshonorée, c'est un ticket en or pour une vie meilleure ou du moins c'est ce qu'on lui dit. Mais l'Académie Lunaris n'est pas le paradis qu'on décrit. Tout ce que Violet et ses camarades humains ont appris est un mensonge. Les humains sont loin d'être égaux ; ils sont des pions dans un jeu bien plus vaste. L'académie n'est rien de plus qu'une cage dorée, et les étudiants sont des agneaux menés à l'abattoir, des jouets pour les alphas dans leurs jeux impitoyables. Pour aggraver les choses, Violet attire l'attention des joueurs les plus dangereux dans ce jeu, les Quatre Terreurs : l'Alpha du Nord, l'Alpha du Sud, l'Alpha de l'Est et l'Alpha de l'Ouest. Chacun est plus dangereux, plus tordu et plus puissant que le précédent. Mais même entre eux, les alphas sont divisés, chacun poursuivant ses propres ambitions mortelles. Pourtant, ils ont tous les yeux rivés sur elle. Ils s'attendent à ce que Violet suive le mouvement, tombe dans les rangs comme les autres qui vénèrent à leurs pieds, qu'elle casse sous leurs jeux. Mais Violet n'est pas comme les autres. Elle refuse de s'incliner. Elle va tous les défier.

Desafie o(s) Alfa(s)

Dois séculos após a Grande Guerra, a paz entre humanos e lobisomens finalmente foi alcançada, ou assim todos acreditam. Lobisomens reinam como deuses, e os humanos permanecem blissfully inconscientes de seu verdadeiro lugar na nova ordem mundial. Para manter esse frágil equilíbrio, a cada ano, um punhado de humanos "sortudos" é selecionado de vários distritos para frequentar a Lunaris Academy, uma instituição prestigiosa que promete glória, status e uma chance de se misturar com a elite. Os escolhidos são celebrados como os poucos sortudos, destinados a casar-se com poderosos alfas e ascender como luna. Este ano, Violet Purple está entre os escolhidos, para surpresa de todos. Para uma garota órfã adotada por uma prostituta desonrada, este é um bilhete dourado para uma vida melhor, ou pelo menos é o que dizem a ela. Mas a Lunaris Academy não é o paraíso que aparenta ser. Tudo o que Violet e seus companheiros humanos foram ensinados é uma mentira. Os humanos estão longe de serem iguais; são peões em um jogo muito maior. A academia é nada mais do que uma gaiola dourada, e os alunos são cordeiros levados ao abate, brinquedos para os alfas se divertirem em seus jogos impiedosos. Para piorar as coisas, Violet chama a atenção dos jogadores mais perigosos deste jogo, os Quatro do Terror: o Alfa do Norte, Alfa do Sul, Alfa do Leste e Alfa do Oeste. Cada um é mais perigoso, mais perverso e mais poderoso que o anterior. Mas mesmo entre si, os alfas estão divididos, cada um com suas próprias ambições mortais. Ainda assim, todos têm os olhos sobre ela. Eles esperam que Violet siga o fluxo, caia na linha como os outros que adoram aos seus pés, se quebre sob seus jogos. Mas Violet não é como os outros. Ela se recusa a se curvar. Ela vai desafiá-los a todos.

Desafía al Alfa(s)

Dos siglos después de la Gran Guerra, la paz entre humanos y hombres lobo finalmente se logró, o eso creen todos. Los hombres lobo reinan como dioses, y los humanos permanecen alegremente inconscientes de su verdadero lugar en el nuevo orden mundial. Para mantener este frágil equilibrio, cada año, un puñado de humanos "afortunados" son seleccionados de varios distritos para asistir a la Academia Lunaris, una institución prestigiosa que promete gloria, estatus y una oportunidad de mezclarse con la élite.

Todo lo que Violet y sus compañeros humanos han aprendido es una mentira. Los humanos están lejos de ser iguales; son peones en un juego mucho más grande. La academia no es más que una jaula dorada, y los estudiantes son corderos llevados al matadero, juguetes para que los alfas jueguen en sus despiadados juegos. Para empeorar las cosas, Violet atrae la atención de los jugadores más peligrosos de este juego, los Cuatro del Terror: el Alfa del Norte, Alfa del Sur, Alfa del Este y Alfa del Oeste. Cada uno es más peligroso, más retorcido y más poderoso que el anterior. Pero incluso entre ellos, los alfas están divididos, cada uno con sus propias ambiciones mortales. Sin embargo, todos tienen los ojos puestos en ella. Esperan que Violet se sume al juego, que siga la línea como los otros que adoran a sus pies, que se rompa bajo sus juegos. Pero Violet no es como los demás. Ella se niega a inclinarse. Ella los desafiará a todos.

Why do people have to be this lonely? What's the point of it all? Millions of people in this world, all of them yearning, looking to others to satisfy them, yet isolating themselves. Why? Was the earth put here just to nourish human loneliness? Haruki Murakami, Sputnik Sweetheart

This review is part of a review swap and valid as of chapter 19. First off, there are minor grammar mistakes but that's what they are - minor. Nothing that breaks the story or anything like that. There were also a few chapters wherein I had to reread a couple of times just for me to understand what was happening and who was saying what to whom. Again, nothing too major. For the story and the telling, it reminds me of Haruki Murakami's style. It focuses on the slice of life and the characters' reactions to the environment more than the setting itself. I was initially confused why some chapters were short, but it was explained later on that it was for the year 2040 chapters so it did make sense. The chapters are lengthy enough to contribute to the story, but not long enough for you to be bored. Stars: Writing quality is 4 because there were some confusing chapters that I had to focus more and reread a couple of times. However the flow has improved in the later chapters. Stability of updates is 5, daily updates says it all. Story development is 5. Like I said above, it heavily reminds me of Haruki Murakami which is one of my favorite authors. Character design is 5 because the characters are believable. You won't expect most of the main characters to be witty, however they have transmigrated to their younger years so it does make sense. World background is 5. It mainly depicts the year 2040 and their interactions at school, however the focus of this story is the characters. Thanks!
