None of this is reflected in your actual summary. If you have to tell people this, your summary needs work. I should be able to tell from your tone something like "X thought they were joining a basket ball club but the longer they're there, the more they realise there are deep secrets they're teammates are hiding from them behind the cosy team atmosphere" rather than having to outright say it.

I'd disagree with this tbh. The tone statement actually contributed to making me interested OP's comic when I checked it out, while conversely I find an attempt to imply tone through a short few-words summary often end up sounding cliched. In fact, in general I find this format:

HGohwell:

This is Main Character. Their goal is Goal (optional Because). In the way is Problem. To solve Problem and achieve Goal, Main Character must Solution. Follow Main Character as they Solution, will it work?

kind of cliched and formulaic, and I don't remember the last time I felt hooked by a pitch that follows this format. I feel like straight-up describing your vision for your story (what mood you're aiming for etc) like you would in a forum post works better, at least for me

Agree with your other points though :]
