Über das Buch

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Most fairytales end with a wedding and a happily-ever-after—but this is no fairytale. The updated and official translation of Under the Oak Tree, the #1 webnovel on MANTA.

“Currently the most popular romantasy webnovel . . . Under the Oak Tree is a Korean romantasy with intense emotional depth, weaving trauma and love in a medieval setting. [It] explores the internal and external struggles of Lady Maximillian and Sir Riftan in a fraught, evolving marriage.”—Bleeding Cool, in praise of Under the Oak Tree (The Comic)

Lady Maximilian is the daughter of the powerful Duke Croyso, but she is rarely allowed outside her family’s sprawling castle for fear that her stutter will tarnish their noble name. When she is forced to marry Sir Riftan, a lowborn knight caught in one of her father’s schemes, Maxi doesn’t dare hope for happiness, let alone love. Her stumbling communication and his gruff manner sour their relationship before it can begin, and Riftan leaves without a word the morning after their vows are exchanged.

Now, three years after their disastrous wedding night, Riftan has returned as a war hero. To Maxi’s surprise, despite rumors that he was offered marriage to Princess Agnes, a beautiful and renowned sorceress, Riftan still wants Maxi for his wife. And when he comes to claim her, his longing becomes a desire that bewilders Maxi, even as she is overcome by the scorching heat that Riftan’s presence ignites within her. As she learns to navigate the intricacies of her new life, Maxi will find herself and her courage, and discover that she is anything but powerless.

This volume collects chapters 1-76 of the original webnovel by Suji Kim.

    Maxi & Riftan 🔥

    Da ich Under The Oak Tree schon auf Manta als Comic lese, kenne ich die Story bereits, aber WOW - da war sehr viel mehr Spice als ich erwartet habe. 🔥 Auch wenn Englisch nicht meine Muttersprache ist, konnte ich einen guten Lesefluss finden. Das Buch hat einen wunderschönen Einband. Ich freue mich schon auf den zweiten Teil. ✨

    Guilty Pleasure

    Forced marriage, he falls first, fated mates, reluctant hero, the mentor, traumatic past, miscommunication, etc. Hier werden einfach viele Romantasy tropes bedient, die mich (in der richtigen Stimmung) einfach ansprechen. Ein Drachenkämpfer aus einfachen Verhältnissen erhält die Hand der schüchternen Dukestochter. Beide haben so ihre Charakterschwächen und müssen nun zusammen ihr Leben austüfteln. Er, der verliebte aber grumpy Ritter und sie, die stotternde und schüchterne Nobeldame. Klischee über Klischee und sehr viel Misskommunikation. Man muss es mögen. Der erste Teil war jetzt eher character-driven, ich nehme aber an, dass ein baldiger Monsterquest im Folgeband etwas mehr Action bringt.

    Definitely not good as a book.

    Dafuck? What was that? In this book happened nothing...I read it because I thought something would happen but everytime it started getting exciting was turned down immediately the next moment. It was really getting on my nerves that Maxi always backed away. There was no growing happening. We'll almost. What happened was a huge amount of sex. I mean damn can you two even talk to each other please? And sorry but in the beginning I always felt like Riftan was raping her she always was afraid but never said a thing. I the whole book there was no bonding with anyone really. Maxi was just always afraid or doing her tasks as lady or trying to hide that she's not a well trained noble lady, when she isn't in bed with Riftan. Though she started learn magic in the end it was just an addition to her daily schedule. Now I saw there is also a comic and actually I like the comic version much more than the book. The story fits just better as a comic.
