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 third volume.

The day that Lady Maximilian has been dreading is here: After an arduous journey to...

If you’ve been following the 상수리나무 아래 web novel series, you already know you’re in for something special—and the upcoming Chapters 134-193 collection is set to deepen everything that’s made this story captivating readers. Scheduled to release on June 23, 2026 through Inklore, this 544-page volume will be published at a crucial moment in the narrative, and honestly, the anticipation is palpable.

What makes this particular installment so anticipated comes down to the series’ core premise and where the story is heading. We’re following Maximilien, a stuttering duke’s daughter forced into marriage with a knight of humble origins. After their wedding night, her husband departs on a military campaign—and then vanishes for three years. When he finally returns, everything changes. These middle chapters (134-193) are expected to explore the emotional and romantic aftermath of that reunion, which is exactly where this story becomes irresistible.

This is romantic fantasy at its most compelling—it’s not just about grand adventures or political intrigue, though those elements are certainly present. It’s about two people navigating vulnerability, expectation, and the messy reality of intimacy and trust in a relationship that began under duress.

The genius of 상수리나무 아래 lies in how it handles its central character. Maximilien isn’t your typical fantasy heroine:

  • She struggles with a stammer that affects her confidence and social standing
  • She enters marriage against her will, yet must learn to live with that reality
  • She’s expected to be the dutiful duchess, yet harbors her own desires and agency
  • Her character arc is about finding her voice—both literally and figuratively

The return of her absent husband after three years creates the kind of narrative tension that generates genuine reader investment. Questions multiply: What happened during those years? Has he changed? Can they build something real from such fractured beginnings?

There’s something particularly compelling about how the web novel format has allowed this story to develop over time. Unlike traditional publishing, web novels build community—readers experience chapters as they release, discuss plot points, theorize about character motivations. By the time this collected edition arrives in 2026, fans will have been living with these characters for quite some time, making this 544-page volume feel like both a milestone and a gift.

The romantic fantasy genre itself has been experiencing a renaissance, and 상수rinamoo 아래 represents the thoughtful end of that spectrum:

  1. Character-driven storytelling that prioritizes emotional growth over plot mechanics
  2. Nuanced relationships that don’t shy away from complication or realism
  3. Strong thematic undercurrents about identity, voice, and self-determination
  4. World-building that serves the story rather than overwhelming it

This is the opposite of hollow fantasy romance. These chapters are anticipated to deliver exactly what devoted readers crave: meaningful development between the central couple alongside the broader narrative stakes.

The unknown author behind this work has demonstrated remarkable skill in balancing intimate character moments with larger story architecture—and that’s increasingly rare in web fiction, where pacing can sometimes sacrifice depth for momentum.

What’s particularly noteworthy is how Inklore is positioning this release. Coming to a wider audience through traditional publishing infrastructure while maintaining the web novel’s spirit is a significant moment for the medium. This collection will introduce 상수리나무 아래 to readers who might not have encountered web fiction before, while rewarding long-time fans with a beautifully produced edition of crucial chapters.

The June 2026 publication date also means we’re at an interesting inflection point. Enough time has passed since the earlier chapters for the online community to have thoroughly analyzed every detail, yet there’s still mystery about what these particular chapters will reveal.

Will the romance deepen? Will secrets emerge? How will the couple navigate the reality of reconnection after three years apart? These are the questions driving anticipation heading into the release.

  • For readers who love slow-burn romance: This collection will almost certainly deliver the emotional payoff years of separation demand
  • For fantasy enthusiasts: The world-building and political dimensions provide substance beyond the love story
  • For anyone interested in character-driven narratives: Maximilien’s journey remains one of the most compelling arcs in contemporary fantasy fiction
  • For readers seeking something different: A Korean web novel that centers female agency and vulnerability offers a refreshing perspective

The fact that this book is being published as a substantial 544-page volume speaks to its depth and significance. These aren’t filler chapters—they’re expected to move the needle on plot, character, and relationship development in ways that will likely spark ongoing discussions in reader communities.

Honestly, if you care about romantic fantasy that treats its characters as complex human beings, if you appreciate storytelling that earns its emotional moments, or if you’ve been curious about what makes web novels resonate so powerfully with global audiences, the 상수리나무 아래 Chapters 134-193 collection is worth your attention when it arrives on June 23, 2026. This is the kind of book that reminds us why we read—for connection, growth, and the quiet power of characters we genuinely care about.
