A Painting of the Villainess as a Young Lady Chapter 33 Discussion

Darling MC with past flaws + emotional angst and trauma + dark drawings = 5 stars, love her to death.

I see an interesting trajectory for the rest of this novel, and as someone who usually loves ‘revenge/regret’ stories, I’m eager to eat this one up.

One thing I’m hoping this story does better than most is work against villainizing the child version of MC’s little sister. Blame her current, conniving self all you want, I have little problem with that... However, the children of the Everett estate should not have had to deal with the death of their parental figures alone. When Vic and A were fighting and having disagreements as children, their dad/adopted dad should have stepped in and made them feel like they still had some sense of stability. MC was 8. 8 being blamed for acting like an 8 year old, when the best thing for her would be to express her emotions and her sadness honestly. And we all see that she has been through a lot, being blamed and used as a scapegoat for the majority of her life. However, A was 6. She didn’t know any better. The best thing to do was for their father to actually be mindful of his kids and explain boundaries to A calmly (while telling V not to react physically), not for everyone to treat her like she was the only princess in the house.
