I live in a 1950s house and teh ceiling in one of teh bedrooms has been painted several times. Today large parts of teh paint have flaked off when decorating, you can put a scrapper under amd it’s peeling off like wallpaper. Some parts though are stuck solidly, I don’t want an uneven finish so apart from sanding or chipping away with a scrapper is there an easier way to get this off.

Some things to try.
Duck tape and pull.
Wallpaper scraper.
Wood chisel.
Glass scraper.
When you get the hang of scraping it's not difficult. I say... Maybe some do have trouble..
It's a dark art.
My mate ended up with a bad arm after a few minutes so go easy.
Replace ceiling is other way
