RiftanMaxi and me like this 🤞💋

A story as old as time, or at least 90s romances. This could be almost every knight in shining armor story I’ve read before, but in beautiful full-color. Valiant knight weds virginal woman who has self esteem issues and a stutter. Loads of non-communication but I still liked this story. Will definitely read the next volume when released.
Any graphic scenes are perfectly blocked so you never see the details.
Now I got a hankering to read a Johanna Lindsey.

A love story between a foul mouthed tsundere and a stuttering insecure curry pie.
What's not to like?
Anyway, I'M SO HAPPY THE NOVEL FINALLY HAS A MANHWA 😖
I don't usually like super weak FLs but this one is interesting mostly because they showed us how abused and neglected she was and how that affected her in the long run (hence the stutter and overall meekness).
Imagine being put down just because you stutter and its not even your fault. Worse, she has been raised to see large men as abusive and her husband being large and total stranger to the socially inept girl is not helping at all. It is practically instinct for her to curl up and hide at this point, making herself a much smaller target for the abuser. So, if you want a story where the girl grew up having to fend for herself and survive, be all badass like most modern women prefer, go read something else. I think the way her character is portrayed is very realistic and intriguing here...
However, I do hope the character development, for both of the leads, happens soon!! I like the way story portrays how much Maxi is traumatized and the fact that Raf doesn’t actually find out about it for a long ass time because of the big misunderstanding between them. This shit is HELLA realistic. BUT. Sometimes I feel frustrated with the lack of communication between the leads. (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
Shit is going to GO DOWN when he finds out how she was treated at home, and I'm ALREADY living for it!!

I am in such a knights, maidens, dragons, basically just a downright fantasy mood, and I have been seeing this story on my IG feed, and I thought “why not”?
I definitely liked it.
Maxi seems a little meek, but due to her upbringing I get it. I just hope to see some personal development on her side and it can push the story a lot.
Riftan was such a man😂 But gentle with her too, and I really loved his soft moments.
I am so not done with this story. ☺️
Also I do hope to see some drama😂 That Princess could cause trouble😂

I saw an ad for this on Instagram (really, an ad for the app) and was kinda instantly attracted to the art.
There were a few good chapters already released so I easily and quickly became hooked.
I hate waiting for more when I just want to FREAKING know what happens next.
I learned the lesson of just forgetting until there was enough to satiate my curiosity (there were never really enough chapters for that).
I definitely do not usually like weak-willed leads who just take everything as it passes by them; however, in this story there was at least an understandable reason for that behaviour.
The trauma Maxi experienced in her youth continuously plays into her actions.
But as she settles into her new life and home, you can see that she is slowly, very slowly, figuring out who she is and the kind of leader she wants to become.
There is also her very mysterious husband, Rifton. We get a lot of telling about his past actions as a knight but nothing really about him.
I’m hoping season two explores his characters a LOT more.
The chemistry between Maxi and Rifton is undeniable. I love any scene with both of them in it.
Rifton accepts all of Maxi which she has never experienced before. It’s heartwarming to see the way he is towards her while Maxi learns to accept Rifton’s affection.
The world building has been good while most of the side characters have enough personality that they are memorable.
I am so excited for the second season!
I will definitely be re-reading the first season. Definitely recommend!
Side note: I know when I started this but have no idea when I finished it…

Another Korean Fantasy with a rapist male MC, and a case of “selective medieval realism”. Dragons? Yes. Mages? Why not! Women with agency or learning the art of war? Too much! I know Korean manwhas are nothing but trad propaganda but this one is truly the worst I have read.
The MC commits marital rape during the first part, and this is never acknowledged by the narrative at all. Maxi disability and her abusive background only exist so she never stands up for herself. She’s nothing but a “trad fantasy with legs”, like most, if not all timid, passive and stuttering female characters. She exists so Riftan doesn’t have to do anything to be loved, because she is designed to take scraps and endure his abusive behavior. Maximilian Calypse, from a Doylist reading, is one of the worst female characters I have encountered. She is nothing but a misogynist wet dream.
We’re supposed to think Riftan is a romantic hero. He's not a romantic hero. He is a rapist, an immature man who believes he is a legend because he once killed a dragon and looks down on the nobles who gave him his titles and his lands (because that’s how feudalism works). Who do you think legalised your possession of those lands, the goddess of the mountains?
The classic trope of the "broken man who can only love an abused woman," dressed in romantic tragedy. But what seems like an epic love story dismantles quickly when you analyse it with a little logic.
It's not "protection", it's control disguised as “manly heroism”. It's not love for someone shy or with a stutter; it's a preference for someone who doesn't confront them. Because Maxi knows nothing, not even the currency used in her world. She’s helpless and utterly ignorant of everything. Never mind that, in real feudal societies, noblewomen were actually in charge of running the castle; most even knew about warfare and combat, enabling them to defend it when the men were away.
It's not that he "protects her from the world", it's that the world and her need protection from him. Riftan is the typical “Strong male character” from Romantasy*, he believes that being stoic, growling and physically intimidating everyone is how you run a castle. In the real world, he would have been executed for treason a long time ago. Riftan, however, is a Gary Stu in the classical sense: the world was created to he can look perfect in comparison.
*Isn't it funny how people use the bullshit "Strong female" term, sometimes with derision, but never question how ridiculous these male characters are? “He has a penis so he can take down a dragon and an army by himself, but a woman warrior? Too much!”
(The answer to this is misogyny).

Wow....
Okay, I definitely see why so many people are intrigued. This wasn't a perfect book, but my heart broke for Maxi the entire course of the graphic novel. To be so beat down and broken that you don't feel like you're deserving of love is a very real thing. I love that Riftan is so reassuring and gives her so much affection without realizing how this is slowly healing Maxi and changing her perception of herself. This definitely ended on a cliff hanger and now I'm anxiously awaiting volume 2.

June 28, 2021Yeahhh, nah. There was one too many "If you don't say 'No' now, I won't be able to stop later." utterances in there. Major red flag. If somebody displays discomfort, you get your noodle out/your coochie off of them. It really is a simple concept.
Also: this book features two grown people and even after having pretty much revealed their feelings to each other, the miscommunication between the two of them ruins any potential for a mature relatinship that doesn't consist of red flags.

I received a copy of this book for free from the publisher (Inklore) for promotional purposes.
This was so so so good!
Prior to receiving this book, I had never heard of this webcomic/webnovel series before. I’m so glad it was put on my radar because I’m kind of obsessed with it now. I can see why it’s a popular online series.
First off, the artwork is gorgeous. This is a full color graphic novel printed on thick pages. The colors are vibrant and the art style really made it feel like I’m right there with the characters. Reading the book often felt like watching an anime.
The storyline is fairly basic (arranged marriage trope), but I didn’t mind it. Sometimes simple is better.
As for the main characters, I loved Maxi and Riftan. They were such a cute couple. Riftan was so protective over Maxi and I loved how he showed her love and kindness. Maxi had a rough upbringing so Riftan was exactly what she needed. For supporting characters, I found Ruth (the sorcerer) fascinating. I’m eager to learn more about him.
Overall, I cannot wait to continue this series. I was also sent the novel version, so I will be reading that in the meantime. If you like romantasy and graphic novels, definitely check this one out!

October 21, 2024What an interesting experience ~ my first romantasy graphic novel.
I don’t really have anything to compare this too. I thought the art was lovely and the flow of the spreads easy to follow as someone who doesn’t read a lot of episodic comics.
The characters and story weren’t quite for me but it was very entertaining. With Maximillian, we establish the insecure stuttering princess type with an evil abusive father immediately. Within the first few pages we also get an arranged marriage to a stoic gruff VERY LARGE soldier man (Riftan).
It’s a classic “they get married when he’s a lowly soldier and then he comes back a decorated war veteran who has acquired immense wealth and power.” Very tropey, sweet, and lots of stumbling miscommunication if that’s your thing.
The characterization of Max and Riftan was eye roll worthy for me but I think in a kind of junk food romantasy way. Lots of scenarios like this:
Riftan: “You are coming with me. You are my wife.”
Max: “Oh so he’s with me only out of marital obligation! He’s just doing this out of duty!! Once he tired of me he will likely ask for a divorce!”
*Riftan proceeds to grab Max and makeout with her*
So ya…idk. I need my romantasy to have dialogue and tension and an understanding for why these two characters work together and why X person is obsessed with Y. Riftan’s attraction was seemingly random and over the top. But I think it will work for people looking to consume this kind of story.

Thank you to Inkstone for sending me a copy of Under the Oak Tree. I really enjoyed this. Loved the characters especially Maxi. I think her character arc is going to be incredible and I can't wait to read more in this series. I also feel like something different is going on with Sir Riftan as well, like there's something darker inside him maybe. I also hope Maxi's dad get's his comeuppance as well.

REVIEW ADDED 11/23/2024
I DNF'd this book, which is a shame because the cover is so pretty. I read maybe a quarter of the way through before stopping. I swear to god the first sexual encounter between Max and Riftan was nonconsensual, but it's never addressed? I don't know how else I'm supposed to interpret Max cowering in bed with tears in her eyes, looking absolutely HORRIFIED while thinking 'I don't know how to do this!'.
From a narrative standpoint, I got real tired real quick of Max's and Riftan's dynamic. 'You could at least PRETEND to be glad to see me. It's as if I'm a monster to you'. Yeah, bitch, you are. Max is only there because she was forced into an arranged marriage. I feel like I'm the only person who didn't like this and it's driving me nuts. How dare you invoke Gustav Klimt aesthetics, in MY house.

The FMC’s entire personality is “would you still love me if I were a worm?”
August 10, 2025
Not sure how I feel about this one. Art was great and I liked the FMC Maxi, especially as she starts to develop her sense of self through the story BUT whatttttt is up with Riftan? Homeboy is a 25 red flags in a trench coat, and we’re supposed to like him? My biggest issue was the lack of consent (or dubious consent as another reviewer called it). It was too unclear how Maxi felt in those scenes for me to ever be comfortable with Riftan as a love interest - not to mention his only interest in her is sexual and when she rebuffs him (intentionally or not), he huffs and puffs and gives her the cold shoulder. I’ve read some interpretations of this as social awkwardness, yearning, not knowing how to voice his feelings and sure, okay, if that’s the point then why aren’t we working through any of that? Instead, he quite literally disappears from the narrative for the second half of the book. Perhaps all that is explored in the second installation, and I’m willing to reconsider him if we get some serious self-evaluation and growth…but for now, the red flags abound.
I’m not sure if I’ll continue with this one. I’m curious to see if Riftan does improve, but if he remains toxic abuser disguised as an infatuated husband, I don’t think I can handle it.

*Massive* TW for on-page sexual assault (multiple times) and truly bad representation for stuttering.
An actual mess. The infantilization of the MC coupled with the ridiculous size difference between male and female main characters is very off-putting. The on-page sexual assault of the MC by the love interest is not a great look, either. Also, nothing happens.

the manhwa is great, you can feel the characters but the novella is from a nother world, the comics is bearly the tip of the novella, if you liked the manhwa you should defently read the novella

Está bien, estos webtoons son como adaptaciones de libros de señora, no tengo pruebas, pero tampoco dudas. La verdad es que los disfruto porque se leen muy rápido y son full de romance, además las ilustraciones son preciosas.
Maxi es una chica que ha vivido toda su vida siendo abusada por su padre, al punto de que tiene una percepción por completo distorsionada de sí misma. Se odia y cree que no merece nada de lo bueno que pueda recibir. Fue casada a la fuerza con Riftan, un caballero sin mucho pasado, pero que debido a su talento logró hacerse un nombre. Después de casarse, él se fue a pelear y no volvió hasta 3 años después a buscarla.
Maxi es muy tierna, una mujer que se siente como una niña incapaz de hacer algo bien, pero con todas las intenciones de lograrlo y ganarse su lugar. Tiene serios problemas de autoestima, sin embargo, poco a poco va aprendiendo más de sí misma y sus capacidades. Me gustó al forma en que va enfrentándose al mundo, a pesar de la forma en que fue criada.
Riftan es el típico protagonista super masculino e intenso, pero que es como un cachorrito con ella. Hay varias cosas en su comportamiento que las entiendo por la época, y que además ese mood bien protector e intenso es propio de estas novelas, y está bien. No significa que lo justifico fuera de este contexto, pero aquí puedo disfrutarlo como la ficción que es.
Si bien hay algo de contexto del mundo y de la trama, esta primera temporada es más sobre la relación de ambos y el cómo Maxi se va adaptando a su nuevo hogar, y a la idea de que merece tener la atención y cariño que va obteniendo. Imagino que más adelante, debido a cómo terminó esta, habrá más de la trama política.
Por último, las ilustraciones son tan bonitas como suele ser en este tipo de webtoon. En especial, amé los paisajes y los vestidos de Maxi, los detalles en ella tanto su ropa, expresiones y peinados, me encantó.
Under the oak tree es una historia bonita con una protagonista inocente que debe aprender a quererse a sí misma y encontrar su lugar en el mundo. Esta primera temporada es principalmente romance y el crecimiento de Maxi.

This is a little different from the manga I normally read, but I’m enjoying it! :) I hope the characters develop a little more, and we learn more about the world, but the artwork is beaaaautiful. I’m between a 3.5 and a 4/5 star.
