Right now I'm on second arc, chapter 33. Will try my best to read till the end of the arc so that I can be sure about my opinion on this... piece of "art".
First of all, I support what karl646 wrote about this.
I'm really losing my brain cells on this. The novel is named "Dark Moon : Rise of The Dark King". So it should be about Dark King, that's what I thought. About the King who was betrayed and killed before. There's even 2 "darks" in the title.
What do we got instead? It's really hard for me to not use violent words. In short, I can say that synopsis, tags and novel title are 10000% misleading. It should be called something like "Rainbow Sun: Power of Friendship and Whining". Example:
What I mean is that MC's mind is anything but Dark. He won't even kill those that "killed" him and his citizens (that poisoned the whole city (!!!)), and instead trying his best to show that their food isn't poisoned after the defeat of this braindead Father/Son duo. More than that, talking with them on lunch about financial situation. Making some agreements with them. Still trying to prove something to them.
And author showing that MC's somehow angry about that same agreements while that could be avoided altogether by... killing them? I mean, it's "Dark King" who we are supposedly talking about. He didn't kill them, torture, mind control or whatever. He just "defeated" them like...
Okay, that just looks like they were playing football or any other kind of sports, MC defeated the enemies in the game and decided to annoy father and son on lunch. Not like it was war to avenge dead citizen and show power of the whole Kingdom (WHOLE CITY JUST MURDERED WITH CRUEL POISON, YOU KNOW?)
Should I remind that he doesn't just have "dark" powers and wasn't just killed by his family, he was abused since childhood and was made military slave for years? "Well done" with MC.
It was just one example of many. Characters are shallow, MC is superficial. Instead of identity conflict it looks more like constant whining (the reason for the name above). I'm not against the identity conflict theme or character psychological problems theme. I even like that. That's mostly the reason why reading this feels more like self-torture.
It's really utterly embarrassing and disappointing for me to know that somehow this novel has high rating.
As I've written earlier, I will try to read to the end of 2nd Arc, but since the examples of real disappointment are already many, my opinion can become just slightly higher, not much. Honestly, I don't really believe it will and I will read further this time just to prove it to myself once more.
Edit: Nope, I will drop this. Read till arc 2 c87. Oh boy, you're in for a rollercoaster. The type which makes you lose your brain cells. It gets so much worse. I thought it was impossible.

I really like this story. The MC is an unfortunate prince chained to a tangled fate, all caused by his unlucky past and his family misunderstanding.
The dynamic of the characters are really well done. There are some battles and kingdom building but what makes me love this story is, it has Shakespeare flavor in it, especially Hamlet and Romeo and Juliet. But the problem is: it makes you want for more.

Competently written but impressivly hallow/cartoonish characters. The king and prince have barely any reason to doubt the MC yet hur-dur f**k him because we're so evil... The MC naivette doesnt help punching me out of the story. If the characters werent so bad the novel would be great.
