The Final Role of the Forgotten Villainess

I thought I had left ‘Shadows Over Vireholm’ behind—just a mediocre high school novel with a tragic villainess I couldn’t forget. Messy plot, clichéd romance, and the usual villainess setup. But one character lingered in my mind even after finishing the book : Madeline Feliste —Cold, Sharp-tongued and Obsessive. Or at least, that’s how the story wanted her to appear at first. But if you’ve read enough of these novels, you start to notice a pattern. “The villainess is never the real villain.” Beneath her arrogance was a girl betrayed by the narrative itself—slandered and left to fight a battle no one else even acknowledged. The heroine was a good-for-nothing, a fake. The male lead was always silent . And Madline ? She was just trying to survive. I cried when she finally smiled—when someone saw her as she truly was. That ending stayed with me. It still does. But now… I’m here. As a Third-rate villainess character ‘LIVIA MAREN’ But suddenly the story started to twist as if the stories were written by someone else. And I’m starting to think… the book got it all wrong. what if they mistook the villain for the victim? But what if… Madline Feliste was never the one in danger? What if it’s all of us?
