"Secretly gathering with others in a world where
sadness is punishable by death, a brokenhearted singer
struggles to incarnate the true love found only in his dreams."
1)
We the reader know they are oppressed from the set-up of special world circumstance.
By using it twice ie: "... escape the oppression..." & "... sadness is punishable by death.."
it can confuse and be repetitive while adding unnecessary info. Keep your set-up as simple as can be.
2)
What is the inciting incident making the hero incarnate the true love of his dreams ??
How did he become heartbroken ??
3)
What is the urgency that forces the hero to act ?? Why now ??
4)
When you imply "incarnate" & "singer", we presume that the hero
will sing this being into existence and be the main premise. What is the after affect of this ??
Is this punishable or is their a time limit ?? What force is acting against this being ??
Hope this helps :D
