After years of abuse and trauma, Maxi deals with a lack of self-worth and struggles with a speech impediment. overall: 7/10 cuz it’s not bad + it’s quick to entertainment.Under the Oak Tree is a romance fantasy series that follows the story of Maximilian “Maxi” Croyso, the daughter of an abusive duke who marries his daughter off to the commander of the Rendragon Knights, Riftan Calypse. hope there’s an eye catching element too like she’s not just decorating it but maybe she’ll go into war or discover more of her magic (which i suspect will be the later plot lines) would be into it again if we saw maxi growing as lady of the house more. (but i like the mage more) i hate love triangles so i hope it won’t turn it into one but omg the mage still don’t get his character but like he’s so in love w her it makes me blush. i honestly totally forgot there was smut in it. it’ll send the wrong message to be like “love fixes ur disability” ? also i’m hoping deeply they author won’t try to “fix” her stutter bc one there’s smth deeply wrong with that and two like why though it’s central to her character. you can tell authors trying to give her plot development too so it’ll be nice to see that unfold in the future. rooting for her + insert arrested development “good for her” meme. but the thing is, maxi is understandably not like that. usually i prefer fls who are legitimately and already strong. do w that what you will, i personally don’t like the lack of action the pacings slow so you know the authors trying to get that bag. i cant remember if i read it full way but i do recall getting bored before the end. Not to mention art is stunning and the characters are □□ I can't wait to see the backstory of when he fell for her and all the other tea but the character development and growing affection is so much better than a speedy plot. Honestly it's nice to see a bit of work-romance balance in a webtoon. And his unrelenting love doesn't stop him from still doing his job. He starts to understand Maxi and is learning to explain things properly instead of saying something gruffly and letting Maxi think that she is the problem. Riftan's character growth is satisfying to see as well. Seeing her grow confidence and allow herself to grow closer to Riftan is so heartwarming. ![]() I've cried a few times during this webtoon because hating yourself is a relatable and horrible feeling. Of course she's going to feel weak and not speak her mind. ![]() She's been manipulated, told she's not as good as her sister, physically abused, and made to feel small her entire life. Maxi is exactly the kind of lead character I want to see, she feels so real. ![]()
