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 read this novel because of Monster Paradise. I thought at least it’ll have similar quality. Boy, how wrong I was. I’m currently at ch 155. Translation is good. Minor grammar mistakes. Character development is shallow. Relationship is shallow and you’ll see much ‘he’s my friend, I have to save him’ kind of thing, although they don’t know each other an hour ago. The world is similar to One Piece, but in space. Much of the story in this novel is similar to it too. Standard LN cliches. Predictable and boring. Biggest plot armor, Neptune. Don’t know sh it? Neptune Need money? Neptune Need martial techniques? Neptune Need crew? Neptune Need explanation? Neptune Neptune doesn’t know? Upgrade Neptune Rinse and repeat. MC is ultra-super-genius who learns fast. And extremely lucky, everything he needs coincidentally flying to his lap the moment he said he needs it. Money, techniques, crew, etc you name it. Interesting fact: read review from lv 4 or above user for honest review. Some will like it, some won’t but mostly honest.
