@Angel: I can agree with you on that. DoE started out well, but its onward is like a story lacking climax, where it just put the readers in expectation for the something epic that never comes. This style of narrative should appeal to some people though. There must be some kind of charm to it, but we'll never know until we follow it, and spend time digging into the story line. I'm not a fan of the project, so I think I'm not the one to judge here.

Though serving as the intro part, I want to restate that DoE's first three or four songs can work out as a decent short story. The tragedy element is visible throughout the narrative. The main character (the Queen) brings out a feeling of rage, but also sympathy from the audience (fallen kingdom and sacrifice of her own twin, now she will have to live in regret till the end of her life). Haku's backstory works fine as well, where the character struggles between revenging and forgiving. The story could have ended at that point in my opinion. I once came across footages of DoE's musical (the one where it isn't related to the chronicle or sth). The story played out the same, except it ended on a plot twist. It's surprising tbh, but still leaves a bad taste in the mouth. I'm pretty sure fans aren't gonna react well if the story ends like that, especially since most fans are youngsters and adolescences.

I would love to hear an opinion from a fan of this series.
