Alright, diving into the reader reactions for The Villainess Turns the Hourglass - Chapter 3! It seems like this chapter really got people talking, especially about the new character introduced!

A big focus in the comments was definitely on Oscar. Readers were immediately asking if he's the Male Lead, and many were relieved (or maybe a little disappointed, depending on who you ask 😉) to find out from rereaders that he's *not* the ultimate ML. Opinions were pretty divided on his looks and personality, with some finding him hot 🔥, others thinking he looks a bit plain or even "like an NPC" 😂. There's a strong sentiment that he seems weak, easily swayed, and even "pitiful," especially for those who know his role later on. The consensus seems to be that he's definitely *not* the right fit for Aria, and many are glad the actual ML is said to be even hotter!

Of course, our girl Aria continues to steal the show! Readers are loving her commitment to being a true villainess this time around 💪. Instead of seeking a quiet life, she's fully embracing the revenge plot, and people are totally here for it, finding it refreshing and exciting. They're impressed by her intelligence and planning, especially compared to Mielle, who some see as less cunning and more focused on performance. The tension between Aria and Mielle in this chapter was a highlight for many, providing that satisfying catharsis when Aria gets the upper hand.

Other characters are also getting some love! Aria's mother is being praised as the "real MVP" and for her gorgeous looks 💖. And Sarah, the tutor, is winning hearts for being sweet and pure, with some readers even hoping for her own side story.

Overall, the vibe for Chapter 3 is excitement for the unfolding revenge plot, strong opinions (and spoilers!) about the potential love interests, and appreciation for Aria's cleverness and the dynamic with the supporting cast. Can't wait to see what scheming Aria comes up with next! 😉
