I dunno if any of y'all read korean fantasy novels but like I just wanna talk about Under the oak tree. This is a story that actually lets you judge the characters by yourself without the author gaslighting you into liking them or something. And they are very believable. Trauma can't be erased in just a few months because of a person and its the same with confidence it won't just sprout in you over night, your insecurities won't just disappear as easily as that. I love how the author remembers that and reminds us that our female lead has been through abuse all her life. She had always been physically and verbally abused by her father and all those years of abuse won't just suddenly disappear just because she finally has someone who loves her. Because even then the insecurities are still there Maxi is still insecure and lacks confidence she shakes with anxiety just thinking how her husband would hate her when he finds out she's not a pampered noble lady but an abused one. I love how real she feels and how real her fears are. And I love how she didn't become this brave strong woman because of her husband who encouraged her and stuff instead she became one because she wanted to even if it was for him it was still because she wanted to, to be much more than she was then she wanted to help him with all she had. I think this is the first korean fantasy story where she becomes capable because she wanted to not because of a man's encouragement.

Under the Oak Tree

Chapter 109

Kinda wish they showed some steamy love scences when they were in Port City 🤭🫣

[sadiegirl2021]

There's nothing sexier than a man beating his father-in-law with a wooden chair for the abuse he's inflicted on his wife!

Riftan, baby! You did the right thing. Hit him harder!
