It updates, but calling it 'regular' would be generous. I subscribed hoping for a steady stream, but it's been sporadic. Sometimes you get two Riftan perspective chapters close together, then nothing for a while. The translations of the main story previews are more consistent, maybe monthly.
Honestly, I dropped my sub after a bit. The content is great when it arrives—that last side story about the early marriage was so sweet—but the unpredictability bugged me. I'd rather just wait for the official Amazon release now; at least those come out on a set schedule. The Patreon felt like paying for the privilege of being anxious for updates.
the update schedule isn't rigid. The author, Kim Suji, seems to put out new parts roughly once or twice a month. It feels like she drops a new 'preview' chapter or Riftan's POV section whenever she finishes polishing it, which I honestly prefer over a strict weekly deadline—means the quality stays up. That said, I've seen it go quiet for nearly three weeks before, so you have to be a little patient.
It's a higher-tier reward, too. I'm on the 'Advanced Chapters' tier, and even there, you're not guaranteed a specific number per month. They post in batches sometimes. If you're desperate for regular content, maybe check the Ridibooks official serialization in Korean; the Patreon is more for early access and exclusive side stories, really. Keeps me checking the app way too often.
From what I've observed, updates are monthly-ish, often around the middle or end of the month. The focus lately has been on those bonus chapters from Riftan's viewpoint, which are totally worth the wait. Don't expect a weekly webtoon-style schedule; it's a novel, and the writing takes time. The lack of a calendar keeps me checking back constantly, which is maybe their strategy.

Patreon is a primary platform for the official English serialization, so exclusivity varies by tier. The early access model is a huge draw. Lower tiers might get chapters a few days before the public release on platforms like WebNovel or Manta. Higher tiers sometimes get chapters a week or two ahead, which is a massive boon for anyone trying to avoid spoilers from the Korean raws floating around.
One exclusive I've seen mentioned is character art or concept sketches posted as patron rewards. The author or the translation team sometimes shares rough drafts or commentary about certain scenes, which is neat for understanding Maxi and Riftan's dynamic beyond the text. There might also be Q&A sessions or polls about side stories, though I'm not currently subscribed to confirm the latest specifics.
Oh, that whole Patreon situation is a real minefield. From what I've pieced together, the author Riftan never officially used a Patreon for 'Under the Oak Tree.' The official early releases have always been through the Korean platform Ridibooks, and then the official English translation comes through Webnovel or the Amazon e-books. I've seen random 'Patreon' links floating around on social media, but they're usually fake—either scams trying to get your money or pirate sites masquerading as official. It's super frustrating because you just want to read ahead, you know?
A couple months back, someone in a Discord server I'm in got burned. They paid for a supposed 'author's Patreon' that promised raws, and it just vanished after a week. The safest way to support the author and read as early as possible is still to use the official channels, even if the wait for the official English translation feels endless sometimes. I just keep rereading the published volumes while I wait.
Okay, look, the short and only real answer here is you gotta support Suji Kim on Patreon. That's literally the whole deal. You subscribe to her page, pick a tier—usually anything from the Knight tier up will get you the advance chapters—and the new stuff gets dropped there first. The official English translation releases on Ridibooks/Webnovel after a lag, so Patreon is where the early birds flock.
A quick tip: check the tier descriptions super carefully because sometimes she shuffles which tiers get which benefits. And honestly, the translations are a huge step up from some of the fan scans floating around—way more polished. Just be ready for a monthly charge if you want to keep up. My wallet cries a little every month, but my need to know what happens to Riftan and Maxi is stronger.
The Patreon for 'Under the Oak Tree' is pretty crucial if you're hooked on the main story. Suji Kim posts chapters there weeks, sometimes months, before they appear on the usual platforms like Ridibooks or Amazon. It's not just early access, though; the tier rewards often include author's notes and sketches that give you a peek into the world-building or character thoughts you'd never see otherwise.
What I find cool is that the higher tiers sometimes get access to special side stories or alternate POVs. I remember pledging at the Knight level once and getting a short from Riftan's perspective during a key moment from the first book. It added so much texture. It does mean you have to be patient with the translation process from Korean, but for fans who devoured the webtoon and want the unfiltered source material, it's the most direct line to the author's current work.
