From now on, "To Have and to Hoax" will be remembered as "that book where the main couple had a misunderstanding & didn't communicate effectively for 4 f*cking years"... like WOW. And then it was revealed that it was someone else and the male lead forgave that person easily... that 4 years period is a sad joke at this point *eye-rolls*. What makes it sadder is I'm usually lenient/accepting on this misunderstanding/miscommunication trope but even this was too much (too long) for me. Like... seriously, I'm not a masochist (although I guess it's masochistic of me to finish the book lol... but then I'm a believer in reviewing something only after I finished it so...), I don't enjoy watching fictional people not communicating in the stuff I read. 

To make it more interesting, this book should've a regression plotline added to it. I know that trope is way overdone (in the manga/manhwa world, at least), but I can't accept that 4 years of non-communication unless something tragic happened to them, he regretted, and went back in time to fix his mistakes. And it must be the male lead because he's an A-hole, he needs to suffer more if he want to redeem himself. He will fit in just fine as a regressor because a lot of the male leads in manga/manhwa in that genre also has daddy issues 😒.

I guess the easiest option would be to make it less than 4 years (2 years at most and even that feels too long for me)...

Anyway, I'm pretty much still mad about the book BUT I do still want to read more from the series though because I'm interested in the other couples. And like I said in the previous post, I like the writing style... so I'm not giving up on the author (yet).

Finished the last half of Volume 3 last night and the waterworks were very active after yesterday's post. That really caught me off-guard. Pretty sure that's why I got a terrible headache upon waking up today. Okay, maybe part of it was because of lack of sleep and hormones but still... my eyes feel dry today!  ...I am excited to read to next volume though so, tears or no tears, I'm ready!

Anyway... I just want to do some comfort manga/manhwa reading now so anything end-year/new-year stuff will have to wait until tomorrow~~~

Oh yeah, this is the last post for this year so that means I've posted daily for the whole year~! Yay!

...Not going to do the same next year though lol
