    Five saviours of Earth are tested when strange, celestial fighters, now in their ultimate forms after taking twelve-hundred years to hatch from eggs, declare to destroy the Galaxy for the murder of their sibling.

    If they're already saviours, how is anything much of a test or challenge? Heroes need to struggle or the battle is meaningless. It has to be possible for them to lose, yet find a way to win. And are they the ones who killed the sibling? Doesn't sound very saviour-like. If it wasn't them, who was it?Read more

    If they’re already saviours, how is anything much of a test or challenge? Heroes need to struggle or the battle is meaningless. It has to be possible for them to lose, yet find a way to win. And are they the ones who killed the sibling? Doesn’t sound very saviour-like. If it wasn’t them, who was it? Why are they not part of this story? Or are they part of this story and it just hasn’t been mentioned here? Sometimes too much information creates questions based on a need for comprehension rather than interest.

    Too many commas. Make it simple and straightforward: protagonist, antagonist, conflict, stakes. Don’t weigh it down with unnecessary details or descriptions, like the bad guys being strange or 1200 years old or hatched from eggs. Nobody needs to know that yet. Just provide the basics. One adjective usually works.

    “Five super-powered Earthlings must save the galaxy from ancient celestial warriors out for revenge.”

    Maybe a little too short and not enough detail, but the four basic needs are there, and it encourages people to read more — like a summary or synopsis or even the script — to find out what happens and why. It makes people want to know: what powers do the humans have? What are these celestial beings like, how do they fight? Revenge for what? It doesn’t say, but it’s intriguing without being unclear.

    In time, the female menstrual cycle evolves to happen much less frequently, causing far fewer births. A twenty-second century witch-hunt begins when billions of people convince themselves that this is an ungodly occurrence.

    I will agree with Mike and guide you towards the formula, as well. Not because we should all be members of a Formula-worshipping cult, but because this formula will really help you straighten out the spine of your story and write an effective log line.

    In a bid to reduce population, the dead are allowed to live again virtually, and when it becomes illegal for living people to post their opinion online, billions commit suicide while others risk their lives.

    As the previous commenters have said, you have only set up the world. With more consideration for word real estate, this could be phrased as: "In a world where an online afterlife has made suicide enticing for billions..."

    As the previous commenters have said, you have only set up the world. With more consideration for word real estate, this could be phrased as:

    “In a world where an online afterlife has made suicide enticing for billions…”

    Then, you are missing all 3 elements of the formula: EVENT, CHARACTER, and ACTION.

    Re the world, you may want to check the graphic novel Elysium Online by the Greek comic artist Ilias Kyriazis: https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/18753600-elysium-online#
