I can get it if it’s not your cup of tea, but I think this comic is very different than most who use this trope. He deliberately pretended to be indifferent both so that his enemies would be less interested in her, and so that when he inevitably died, she wouldn’t be miserable. He was also dealing with tremendous guilt and the effects of the curse, so it’s understandable how he reached that flawed conclusion. They are both natural introverts and bad at communicating clearly. It’s not like he did it for shits and giggles (like how the families usually do it)
And I totally get that, I think what the author does later to make sense of everything is good. But this sort of misunderstanding thing in the beginning does not want to make me keep reading despite knowing it will probably be better. It has been a while since I've read this, it wasn't just a misunderstandings I just think there were certain things I didn't like romance or writing wise as well.
Stopped reading cuz I don't like the whole, " they didn't actually kill or hate her, was just a misunderstanding", like how In her eyes the father hated her but in reality love her more than anything. I find that sort of thing pointless more specifically how this story does that trope. After reading a spoiler that explains everything, I do understand a lot more and it was a good reason/excuse (as idea author came up with) for the dad's actions but if the story doesn't hook you in what's the point of waiting for an explain that will take however long. I mean so much of this is misunderstanding and miscommunication after miscommunication, I could not get with it... No matter how hot the dad and male lead are.
