No, I agree with you. I do like Lia and Suradel and their dynamic, but I really, really, really wanted to (and still do) see her spend more time with her dad and to focus on the family dynamics while also leaving room for friendship/growing romance. Or even if the latter was still the focus, I would've loved to see more of the dad and her being together. I want them to reunite asap and clear up Lia's fears of her dad hating him. While I like the story, I do dislike how little we've seen of her dad when they're both really important to each other.
It seems that the author really wants some romance and just slap aa little bit of family interaction just to do some plotting. Well, the plot is messy and not-too-intersting.
Tbh, I like this, not gonna lie. But the transition is too fast and the main reason why I came here is because I want the parent-child interaction, yet the main character seems have no plans to have reconnection with her father YET.
The main concern is the plot. From a child of her father, to running away, then suddenly become so close to the ML, then suddenly this and that. It's not my thing, but again, this is good. Just not my taste(pls don't hate me).
