Under The Oak Tree - Novel #2
Under the Oak Tree: Volume 2
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, continues in this second volume.
As her first winter in Anatol turns to spring, Lady Maximilian finds herself confronting an unfamiliar hope. Her voice and her magic strengthen every day; the only parts of Calypse Castle left to refurbish are its gardens, which she plans to fill with blooming flowers; and the way her husband, the recalcitrant war hero Sir Riftan, looks at her from across their bedroom makes her feel, for the first time in her life, that she might be worthy of love and affection.
However, Maxi's life is never that easy. Just as she begins to feel at home with Riftan, Maxi receives a surprise visit from Princess Agnes, the renowned sorceress who might have become Riftan's wife if he'd decided to divorce Maxi after the Dragon Campaign. Not at all what Maxi expected, the princess stirs up complicated emotions and politics that could lead to monumental changes in Maxi and Riftan's relationship.
This volume collects chapters 77-133 of the original webnovel by Suji Kim.

I find some of the hate reviews for this story so perplexing. I guess these are readers who are unfamiliar with the bodice ripper genre.
Valiant knight weds woman who has self esteem issues and a stutter. Loads of non-communication but I still enjoyed this story.
“He only had us wed because he did not think I would come back alive,” Riftan said in a terrifyingly gentle voice. “But I did come back, and our marriage was legitimate. That man no longer has any authority over you. I am your family now.”
Will definitely read the next volume.

Did a cheeky reread of one of my fav couples ever and omagosh it actually brought back all the best feels 😫😫 I missed them so much like truly will never get over their soulmatery.
I’m def feeling homesick after my reread 💔
RiftanMaxi are THE toxic but softest couple I’ve ever read and nothing will ever come close or hold a candle to how much they mean to me.
The growth of maxi’s character? I’ve never been prouder. And seeing Riftan squirm when maxi puts him in place is always 🤭🤭 god I love them SFM.

Thank you NetGalley for proving me with an eARC one change for a review.
I honestly don't have much to say except the writing in Vol. 2 feels odd and the storylines are repetitive.
Found Maxi and Riftan even more insufferable.
I think it works better as a graphic novel.

Disclaimer: I hate this book with a passion but for some reason I am addicted to this series, I’m not a hate-reader but I am when it comes to this series because I’m in sheer disbelief that something like this can be published in the Year 2025! BUT it’s laced with crack or something because it’s so entertaining, I think I’m getting flashbacks to my Wattpad days.
Maxi is the Y/N final pick-me boss.
I genuinely don’t understand how Riftan is supposed to be the love interest when he:
- infantilizes her
- thinks she’s stupid and treats her like a pet most of the time
- does not care about her interests
- has no interest in opening up to her
- only uses her for her body and most times with murky consent
- does not respect her
- the ONE time he could’ve showed his dominant side that’s not weaponized against her was when there were some random girls flirting with him and HE didn’t shut it down???? Tf????? He even stammered and Maxi herself had to tell the girlies to back tf off her husband and he went all like ‘uhhh…yeah I guess back off girls…’ WHAT. And then he tries to pounce on her two pages later because of how ‘hard’ that made him? Like sorry, that doesn’t make you an alpha male, that actually shows you cannot stand up and respect your woman but then again, RIFTAN DOES NOT RESPECT MAXI, he doesn’t care about her beyond the bedroom.
Besties, we deserve a man who yearns and respects his woman. This is not romance but a fkn cautionary tale.

Look! This is my guilty pleasure
I've been following Maxi's journey since the beginning
I love seeing her grow and bloom and win with kindness and love
Sure, Riftan is still an asshole but come on! That man has been looked down on, had to prove his worth through fighting, lived his whole life amongst soldiers and war, and you expect him to be gentle, understanding and communicate so well!!!!
He is changing...slowly...soooo slowwwwlly...but still...changing
This book picks up immediately at ch12 so it is advisable to read ch11 of book 1 if its been a long time since you read it

Give and take
I devoured the second volume novel of this series, it was captivating. I hold complete bias for Maxi and Riftan but Suji Kim keeps everything interesting and fresh with relationship hurdles and a plot full of adventure.
I was most delighted to see Maxi outside of the castle, respected for some of her developing talents and crucially, her belief in herself. Maxi is such an endearing character, her growth over books 1 & 2 is immense and beautiful to see her coming into a sense of worth. She still has anxiety and uncertainty in her relationship, but there was a sense of some firmer footing in those aspects.
Talking of growth, Riftan was forced to see Maxi in a different light outside of the bedroom. There was nothing easy about this but it was so satifying to see him capitulate! I love how their emotional intimacy is developing, the feelings are full x 100 and the longings continue.
Where this volume left off isn't cliff hanger territory but it's a pause before more exciting times, so I cannot wait to read on. Roll on next year for volume 3.
Thank you DelRey UK/Inklore for the eARC

The novel was alr, but the ML needs to be castrated.🤷🏻♀️
August 26, 2025
Significantly less spicy than the first novel but in a good way, Riftan was too horny and Maxi was the weakest woman alive. In the second installment, Maxi grows a backbone and Riftan holds his urges in check, so both are more palatable. I'm really enjoying the magic learning and just about every time Ruth shows up, he seems the most real of all the characters.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this book.

continuing my current obsession, these are truly addictive books, I love how hilarious Maxi is!? we get to see more of her personality in this one, it's worth reading Riftans POV after the first to understand him more otherwise he can come across kinda horrible 😅 I thought Edward Cullen was a top tier self sabotaging yearner but he ain't got nothing on Riftan!
December 31, 2025
Just like in vol 1, I was rooting for Maxi the entire time. Her journey toward confidence and self-worth is slow, uneven, and often painful but it feels incredibly real. Every small step she takes feels like a victory. This volume leans heavily into emotional growth rather than nonstop action, and I appreciated that. Maxi’s inner struggles are just as important as the external conflicts and seeing her push herself despite fear made me genuinely proud of her. She’s not a loud or bold heroine, but her quiet resilience is powerful.
Riftan remains intense and deeply devoted, sometimes to a fault, and their relationship continues to be shaped by misunderstandings and unspoken wounds. It can be frustrating, but it also makes their bond feel complex and human.
Overall, Vol. 2 strengthened my attachment to the story because it strengthened Maxi. If you’re someone who roots for character growth and emotional payoff, this installment delivers.
I cannot wait for Vol 3!!

Format: Audiobook
This was giving me the biggest sense of déjà vu until I remembered that I had read ahead on the webtoon after completing the first book. 😅
I have mixed feelings about this one because on one hand I loved Maxi finally starting to develop her own backbone and strengthening her magic skills, but on the other hand Riftan was in his full Tamlin-era and giving me the ick.
Overall, the writing of these books reads very much like “telling” rather than “showing” but it helps to have the comic on hand so you can see the gorgeous artwork to fully experience the story.

At a certain point I thought, “oh this is how I die… an aneurysm.” I forgave Maxi in the first volume: young, doe-eyed, virgin bride. Repressed and abused her whole life then taken away to her war hero husband’s land, not knowing what to expect from him or their relationship. But come on? Can we please stop acting the battered, scared, invalid child and just start acting a teeeeensy bit more badass? Seriously, I grow zits bigger than the pair of cajones she has by the end of this volume.

"I am your family now.”
I'm chomping at the bit for Maxi to tell Riftan about her shitty dad and their shitty relationship.
While I think this volume lacks the charm and tension I loved so much in the first volume, we do get some character development in Maxi, and some progression in the way Riftan treats her (she's still spun glass he handles with care, but there's some SLIGHT concessions).
The pros of the novel is the SMUT.
The cons of the novel is it's a little repetitive and slow, but still immersive.
I can't wait for the next volume :)

5 ⭐️ “Under the Oak Tree” remains one of my absolute favorite series. Genuinely, it lives rent-free in my mind and I am always thinking about these characters, and I WISH that more people knew about them.
For my fellow long-term fans of the series, this covers roughly (re: the ebook translations before the traditional publishing) Season 1, Vol. 2 (the very end of it) through Season 1, Vol. 4 (about mid-way through).
We get all the sweet and awkward parts of their relationship developing (Riftan’s concern “you’re bleeding?!” never fails to crack me up), seeing Maxi come into her own in running the castle, and training her magic.
This really is a big turning point in their relationship — Riftan gets to see Maxi struggle & then hold her own (somewhat lol) on their way from Anatol to Livadon. I think that is what really makes me love this story — Maxi struggles and fights for every bit of progress in her story. It is rarely easy for her — so often in fantasy novels, the FMC struggles for just a little bit and then becomes an utter warrior quickly - and while I do love that in those books, what I love for Maxi is that she fights and works hard for every single scrap of progress she makes. Even if the face of what looks like an insurmountable task, she does not give up. Even when her insecurities and doubts sometime get a hold of her, she fights and puts in the work anyway.
Riftan is genuinely the blueprint even though I want to bang their heads together like coconuts and scream “COMMUNICATE.” Maxi’s doubt about the depths of his feelings is so funny (and frustrating) to read sometimes, because it is very clear to us that truly, all the man wants to do is lay facedown in her lap and never leave. There is “down bad” and then there is Riftan Calypse. Truly, I don’t know if I have ever read another MMC like him.
Thank you so much @netgalley and the publishers for this eARC — I have my preorder in for the beautiful physical copy to join the first one, and I frequently go back and read all my highlights & bookmarks (I am always one minor encouragement from rereading) — to be honest, I am already mentally planning to reread both my physical copies once this one is released!

Even if you've read the ebook releases, this is worth revisiting - the cleaned up print version of the story is much better while still retaining the ludicrous "just talk to each other!" elements.
November 2, 2025
TL;DR: Unfortunately this was not an improvement on the first book.
Source: NetGalley - Thank you to the publisher!!
Plot: Maxi spends a lot of time being deeply self conscious and Riftan spends just as much time thinking with his dick.
Characters: I was so disappointed by them.
Setting: Not strong at all, I wish we’d gotten more.
Fantasy: The fantasy was fine! I enjoyed the magic though some more details would have been nice.
Thoughts:
I had a lot of positive thoughts and feelings about volume one of this series, and I had so much hope for the improvement of the characters in volume two. Maxi was on the way to learning magic, she seemed to have finally gotten some legs under her and was pulling herself up. Riftan, I had hoped, was coming to see her as a capable woman and not a delicate piece of meat he got to stick it in. Sadly both of them kept to the attitudes and flaws they had.
I cannot even tell you the plot because I was so disappointed by the characters. This one was not for me, it didn’t work in a way that translated in my brain. Even now after finishing it all I can think about is how frustrated I was with Maxi and how gross Riftan turned out to be (which was probably my biggest disappointment with the novel).
I can’t recommend this and honestly, I might not recommend the first book anymore either simply because this follow up was so poorly done. If you enjoyed the first book you could enjoy this one, I’m sure but I can’t in good faith recommend you continue.

December 31, 2025
2.5 ⭐️ rounded up to 3 ⭐️ because the book picked up in the middle after Maxi started standing up for herself more and her and Riftan's relationship started to grow slowly.
But they still have a communication issue and I found it hard to deal with Maxi's insecurities and constant crying during the first half. It made sense in book 1, but it bothered me in book 2 and made Maxi less likeable to me.

Review to come! 🌳
(FINAL REVIEW:)
This was the second installment of a manwha that I got hooked on back in 2020 and man did this fix my once in a blue moon itching for romance. Again, I have no idea what it is about this book and characters that make me devour it and have me kicking my feet giggling like a schoolgirl, but man this will go down as one of my favorite romantasy plots.💋
The book picks up a few days after the conclusion of the first book. Maxi has gotten more comfortable with her life at Calypse Castle and her role as the Lady of the Castle and wife of Riftan. I liked that she continues to grow as a person in this, and that she does take a stand against Riftan when he gets overbearing. Speaking of him, while I know that he has his reasons and that there will be chapters in his POV, man is it getting hard to give the man some grace in this volume. 😮💨
I won’t talk more about the plot and what happens in this book as I don’t want to accidentally spoil it for people who are interested in reading this at some point or another, but just know that if I, as someone who doesn’t particularly enjoy romance as the sole focus or one of the big focuses in fantasy books, can enjoy this, then maybe this might be a sign that it might be worth picking up. Again, you should look into the trigger warnings before getting into this series though because it does deal a lot with child abuse and how one learns to come out of it (for both Maxi and Riftan, though his POV isn’t always there), so it would be best to think about this before diving into this. ‼️
But thank you again goes to Inklore Books and NetGalley for accepting my request to read this in exchange for an honest (and a little late) review, and to the author, Kim, for getting me into the full aspect of romantasy with these characters. ❤️
Publication date: November 18!
Overall: 4.5/5 ⭐️

2nd book is better than first. I liked how Maxi is growing as a character. She is starting to stand up for herself and push herself to be more. She still has trauma and has issues, but she has definitely grown as a character.
We got more of Riftan's backstory in this, and I feel he will have trauma of his own.
My complaint is the lack of a definite villain. We're learning of a monster army, but 2 books in, and that's all we know.

3.5 ⭐️ I enjoyed this book much more than book 1! While I felt like there was a little less going on, I appreciated the character depth and side quests! I also am thankful there was a lot less spice in this book!
December 13, 2025
there is CRACK in these books.
even so, let’s wonder why the main male lead is so unlikable.. oh I know. he has a stick up his lower shi.
GOD I wanted to smack people many times during this book. the story got better tho (at least something is happening) and it was refreshing to see this girl finally growing a backbone, for five minutes though, cause she always ends up doing what this dude wants. At least we’re getting new characters I guess??
I don’t know how I’m going to be entertained last book because it left on a monotone premise again.. Riftan going to war, Maxi sulking. and if there’s something I loathee is misplaced yearning.
forgot to add.. these mfs can’t communicate for shit. has a problem been resolved between them? NO they just never talk about it and just bang.
