Description
Rachel only realized it at the end of her life. The Emperor of the empire, Ian Dakendov, that she was nothing to him…. She was an inconvenient burden for him. It was a master – servant relationship, but Rachel was confident that she would go anywhere with him if he wanted. Even that day when Ian was fleeing for his life under threat, Rachel was willing to follow him. She didn’t have the slightest hesitation even if it was a dangerous path. Because she didn’t want to leave Ian alone. However, death was the only thing that returned to her who was with him in the difficult moment. That’s how everything ended, she thought. But Rachel returned to the day before running away with Ian. “I’m going to leave the Imperial Castle tonight. You should be ready too.” In this life, she didn’t want to be hurt and abandoned. He didn’t need her and she didn’t want to look at him anymore. Rachel ran away from Ian before the tragedy could repeat itself. To a place he didn’t know. Ian wouldn’t find her, and even if he tried, he wouldn’t be able to find her in this vast empire. She thought she’d never see Ian again….. He came to the place where she escaped to.

A Nightmare Came To The Place I Escaped Review & Spoilers - Novel Translator
My Thoughts on A Nightmare Came To The Place I Escaped
"A Nightmare Came To The Place I Escaped" promised a blend of fantasy, romance, and tragedy, set against a European backdrop with a reincarnation twist. As I delved into this novel, I found myself grappling with its familiar tropes and the complex relationship at its heart. While the translation is generally praised, the story itself evokes mixed feelings.
First Impressions
Initially, I was intrigued by the premise: a second chance, a master-servant dynamic, and the potential for a compelling romance. However, I quickly realized this story relies heavily on common tropes, like a cold male lead and a female protagonist prone to misunderstandings. Some readers might find comfort in these familiar elements, while others may find them overused and frustrating.
What Works Well
The translation quality is a definite highlight. It seems to be consistently well-executed, allowing the narrative to flow smoothly. For readers who enjoy the specific genre of Korean josei historical fantasy web novels set in a Western-esque nobility setting, this might scratch that itch. Also, some readers have pointed out that the male lead, despite his flaws, does eventually attempt to communicate and resolve misunderstandings, which is a step up from some similar novels.
Areas of Concern
My biggest reservation, echoed by many, lies in the male lead's past behavior. The novel explores themes of redemption, but some readers find it difficult to reconcile the ML's previous cruelty with his current attempts at kindness. It raises questions about forgiveness and whether the female lead forgives him too easily, and whether his prior actions are too terrible to be forgiven. The constant misunderstandings, driven by a lack of communication, can also become tiresome, even if they are a staple of the genre.

Final Verdict
"A Nightmare Came To The Place I Escaped" is a mixed bag. The translation is excellent, and the story hits familiar beats for fans of the genre. However, the male lead's past actions and the reliance on misunderstandings might be deal-breakers for some. If you enjoy redemption arcs and can tolerate morally gray characters, this might be worth a try. Otherwise, proceed with caution. I would recommend that you proceed with caution and be aware of the potential triggers before starting.
