Drawbacks to HiveList

I'm Currently using Hive in conjunction with Provider, with great success. First, is there a single object version of HiveList? Secondly, is there any reason not to store List in a Provider as a HiveList, rather than a regular List?

**Code sample**
```dart
//Question 1
@HiveType(typeId: 53)
class ReviewCard extends ContentCard {
@override
@HiveField(0)
final bool hidden;
//I want to store a single Hive object reference here, not a list
@HiveField(1)
final HiveList word;

ReviewCard(
this.hidden, {
@required this.word,
});
}

//Question 2
class Words extends ChangeNotifier {
String _boxName = 'wordsBox';
//how i'm considering storing my list
HiveList _words;
}
```

**Version**
- Platform: Android
- Flutter version: [1.12.13]
- Hive version: [1.4.1+1]
-hive_flutter: [0.3.0+2]
-provider: [4.0.4]
