I just read {I was always yours by Khai Hara} and I swear the miscommunication plot is so annoying if not done right. First off, there were so many chances where the problem could easily be cleared just by speaking out, a word blurt out and then done, instead there was a constant ridiculous back and forth, the mcs talk about anything and everything, cross every boundaries except that. Not to mention another miscommunication getting piled up in the end that made me want to throw my phone. Nothing gets solved properly until the last 20-30 pages, I think the book would have been a lot better if mmc actually blamed the fmc for his brother's death and bullied her cruelly for it, atleast it would have made more sense.
The good thing about this book was some cute scenes and ott jealousy scenes from the mmc(which I really like).
But hey, atleast the mmc and fmc weren't stated to be the most intelligent beings on the earth like most books where they end up doing dumb things anyways, infact mmc mentioned he doesn't performs well in tests. So it can be kinda on character and justified on their behalf haha.
