Description
I was reborn as an extra who was only used for her enormous power and then abandoned. Adopted by the Count’s family and subjected to all kinds of ab*se and humiliation, she endured without using her power. All to be kidnapped by the male protagonist of the novel, the cursed mastermind Grand Duke. * “I heard a prophecy that said you can lift my curse.” “On one condition. I need money to buy my way out of this empire. And it would be even better if I had a suitable position.” I pretended to be Cordelia, the heroine and female lead of the prophecy, and scammed him. All I wanted was freedom, not romance. Our agreement went smoothly. ……. Until it was discovered that I was not the female lead. “Here you are. How dare you deceive me and run away?” His dark red eyes, hidden behind the black eyepatch, stared at me. He slowly caressed my face with his bloodied hand and said in a chilling voice, “When you lied to me, you were determined to do so, right? The weight of responsibility will not be light.” –Even though I tried to twist the original story, I ended up dying like this. I squeezed my eyes shut. Gently pressing my lips with his thumb, he said languidly, “Marry me.” There was something wrong with the mastermind.

My Thoughts on I Treated The Mastermind And Ran Away
"I Treated The Mastermind And Ran Away" is a novel that's been on my radar for a while, and after diving in, I have some mixed feelings. The premise – a reincarnation story with a capable female lead and a handsome, cursed mastermind – definitely pulled me in. However, the execution seems to be a bit of a rollercoaster.
First Impressions
The initial chapters are intriguing. I was quickly drawn into the FL's plight and her desperate attempts to escape her fate. The European-esque setting adds a nice touch, and the potential for a suspenseful, romance-tinged plot is definitely there.
What Works Well
I appreciate the complexity of the main characters. They're not perfect; they have their flaws and traumas, which makes them feel more relatable. The subtle romance is also a plus. It's not an instant love story, but rather a slow burn that develops organically as the leads navigate their individual goals and shared challenges. The mystery surrounding the curse and the FL's past kept me invested, and I found myself eager to uncover the secrets alongside the characters.
Areas of Concern
Unfortunately, the writing and pacing can be inconsistent. Some sections feel rushed, while others drag on. The FL's emotional state is a point of contention. While some readers find her reactions understandable given her circumstances, others find them overly dramatic and inconsistent with her supposed strength. I can see both sides; there are moments where her fear feels justified, but other times, it seems disproportionate. The translation quality also seems to be a sticking point. Some readers found it difficult to follow, which can definitely detract from the overall reading experience.

Final Verdict
Overall, "I Treated The Mastermind And Ran Away" is a mixed bag. It has a compelling premise, complex characters, and a subtle romance, but it's held back by inconsistent writing, pacing issues, and translation concerns. If you're willing to overlook these flaws and enjoy a suspenseful story with flawed but relatable characters, it might be worth a try. However, temper your expectations and be prepared for a potentially bumpy ride. I'd give it a tentative 3/5 stars.
