There's a disconnect between narrative and gameplay. Renoir is supposed to be stronger than Simon.

This is one of the rare circumstances where picrelated is being used in proper context. You can argue that it wasn't well-executed, but we were meant to see in the camp dialogs that Verso disarmed their suspicion with his humor and other forms of smooth-talking. I do agree with you that it stretched my belief a times, particularly when you find the Verso journal and the revelation that he killed the painted woman he loved just makes the women go "aww poor verso!" but maybe that was just the French accurately depicting what women will excuse in a man they like.

>he was mostly doing it for selfish reasons.
What? If all he wanted was out, he had multiple opportunities: He could've asked Renoir (the curator) to gommage him or not ran away with Alicia at the beginning of act iii, when Renoir was about to gommage him. Verso was doing what he was doing to try and save Aline from the canvas, and later Alicia. He lies to see it done, sure, but that doesn't make it selfish, just deceitful.

I get that you're trolling but for anyone else curious about how the canvas works - it's maintained by a literal piece of the painter's soul. That soul does not grow or age and is clearly not experiencing a life in the way that a whole human does. The piece of verso that's still in the canvas is barely there, it can't really hold a conversation, it seems trapped in moments relevant to the words it does try to speak, and it's no coincidence that it's named "fading" boy. If there were any way to bring a painter back with this piece of soul Aline would've done so.
