Hey, from modding queue.

1. I personally thing that in a normal diff you should avoid stacking notes like 00:02:678 (3,1,3,1,3,1,3,1). It's very confusing for new player in my opinion, and I think that if you keep 00:06:185 (1,2,3,1,2)'s kind of placement it's better. I think that these stacks are not too hard to read, especially since the new combo draws the attention of the player to see the time difference between the objects. This is a stylistic choice because I feel that this kind of pause in movement matches the feel of the music.
2. 00:09:302 (1,2,3) - You change your rhythm here because of the pitch increase on 00:10:081 (3), but I would ignore it and continue with the previous rhythm, because I think you're better off following 00:10:276 than 00:10:081. I think it's important to follow this new rhythm because it's different, and helps lead into the next part, and gives some contrast, since this figure does not appear earlier in the music.
3. How would you feel about using a 1/2 slider at 00:16:120? It would cover the red tick which is stronger than the previous red ticks, and it'd disrupt the (imo) boring 1/1 rhythm. No matter how you'd do it, placing an object there would sound good to me. Same for 00:19:237 and 00:22:354. I prefer my current rhythm because I want a click on the white tick after it, while avoiding consecutive 1/2 spacings.
4. 00:23:328 (1) - Feels a bit too curved to me. I'd do something like pushing 00:22:938 (5) just a tiny bit up, and then do the same with 00:23:328 (1) and straighten it up. Something like this: https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/1887128. Note that it'll break the triangle with 00:21:769 (3,4,5) but it's easily fixeable and looks better, just like on that screenshot. I personally like the sharp curve, but adjusted a bit.
5. 00:29:172 (4) - Same for 00:02:678 (3,1,3,1,3,1,3,1), remove the stack.
   I'm actually going to explain why I don't like it, before you start refusing. The spacing between 00:28:587 (3,4) and 00:29:172 (4,1) is different, and new players just tend to... spam a bit. Stacking it like that will make them click 00:29:561 (1) after 1/2 a beat and not 1/1. And it gets confusing. Even more confusing after you introduce 00:58:198 (2,3,4,5,1,2) because the stacks are still there and the delay between interaction decreases between the circle and the second slider. I won't mention stacks anymore from here onwards, I think I've made my point. Feel free to change them or not~ I've had a low rank player (67k approx.) test this, and it seems fine. The approach circles help the player get the beat spacing, especially with new combo on the 1/1 spacings, which set it apart from the 1/2.
6. 01:06:964 (1,2) - The fact that (2) is covering the big white tick, which doesn't creates problems regarding NC's, but the beat itself could be clickable. Also, the song is exactly the same as in 01:03:847, so the rhythm should be similar. You follow the vocals at first, then change for 1/1 rhythm ignoring the vocals you previously followed. If you want to go ahead and follow vocals, do the same for equal parts of the song, and add notes on places like 01:04:432, 01:10:665 (shorten the previous slider to the white tick), 01:20:016, 01:23:133. You actually do this on 01:16:899 (2), but not before. Why?. If you choose to go with 1/1 rhythm which is think is more boring in this case, make sure that 01:05:406 and 01:07:743 (2) are clickable. I don't think it's necessary to use the same rhythm for similar parts of the song. It's nice to have some variation imo, and I don't find it particularly important to have clicks on all downbeats..
   
   Looks very pretty overall, but I think that those stacks are a MUST-FIX. Good work~

1. 00:07:159 (5,6,7,1) - You could probably make this a square. I think the current shape gives better flow.
2. 00:13:393 (1,2) - This thing seems a bit confusing to me. I'd just replace that with 4 circles, would look more clean. If I changed it to 4 circles, I don't think any players would be able to read that it's 1/6 beat spacing.
3. 00:14:561 - Don't miss this beat. Make it a 5 circles stream. Same for 00:16:217 (2,3), fill in the blanks. The song is the same, no real reason as for why you change the rhythm There's no drum on that tick, so I didn't place any objects there since it wouldn't be following anything. It's consistent throughout the song.
4. 00:19:237 - Add the circle. You probably get it by now, so I'll refrain from pointing these anymore. Doesn't follow the music.
5. 00:32:094 (4,5) - Try CTRL+G'ing those and see if you like it. Sure.
6. 00:57:224 (5,6) - Also CTRL+G on those. Looks better to me. No.
7. 01:01:704 (4,5) - ^ No, I like the current flow.
8. 01:05:406 (1) - ^ ^
9. 01:07:743 (3,5) - ^ on both individually ^
   
   Looks good as always, only those minor things. Sorry if it wasn't too helpful.

I'd like to ask you to reply to this mod, and explain detailedly if you refuse why you did, for learning purposes. Good luck~

4. Red——(Maybe) Unrankable, you have to fix it.

[General]

1. I can delete my unsubmitted map now lol.

[Normal]

1. 00:25:276 (4) - change to this? http://puu.sh/aOQxU/7fb4929208.jpg Prefer to keep my simpler rhythm.
2. 01:23:328 (2) - change to 1/1 slider? Fixed.

[Insane]

1. 00:14:561 - in fact I can hear a beat here with 25%, but I think 00:14:659 (2,3,4,5) - is fine although it's a little hard keep. the beat there is different sound from the drums I'm following.
2. 00:15:438 - add a note? quite fits the rhythm (although the pattern may need to be changed...) hm.. I think it's okay to not cover this beat, as leaving a space before the downbeat gives more emphasis on the downbeat (head of (1)). The rhythm is the same through this entire section, and I don't want to have to remap all of it for consistency. ;_;
3. 00:26:347 - add a note to make a stream like https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/1917614 I think this is fine, for same reason of strong downbeat. tbh, this note was so weak when I listened to the song that I didn't even notice it
4. 00:28:587 (2) - the reverse is hidden, maybe unrankable. hmm... yeah, you're right. Moved to make it more readable.
5. 01:00:925 (2,3) - I recommend to change these to triplets. It's not 1/4.. it's 1/6, so I can't map it as 1/4 triplet, and I think players will have a hard time predicting 1/6 quadruplet.
6. 01:23:912 - add a note? Same as the first point.

Nice map.
I will finish my easy diff this afternoon~

Hello!Hi

1. 00:10:081 (3,1) - There is a reason why the last stop and go patterns worked so well. 00:08:912 (3,1) - Stuff like this are more easily visible and aren't being obstructed by any object. This on the other hand is a bit more difficult to read and respond to, because 00:10:081 (3) - 's slider end covers 00:10:860 (1) - 's slider start. With the light combo colors, this will be hard for normal-level players to hit. I highly suggest you unstack and move it somewhere else. It is still a cool pattern though! I'd really like to keep this. I think it's a fun pattern, and it would be hard to rearrange the notes after it in a nice way if I unstacked it ;_;
2. 00:18:652 (3) - Slider shape seems a bit forced, maybe just make it a regular 3 point slider? Will look a bit nicer IMO I prefer not to have such an angled transition between (2,3), keeping it smooth. The anchor near the end of (3) is for accenting the end beat and to change the flow direction. Besides, it gets pretty plain when all sliders are the same shape.
3. 00:32:678 (1,2,3) - Maybe try to have a triangle pattern here? 3 is a bit close to 1's hitburst which clutters up the play tbh Keep current placement because the flow here is more important to me.
4. 01:02:484 (5) - This will allow for a neat pattern by having it blanket 01:02:094 (4,6) - perfectly. Will actually flow better as well since the added curve will provide a nice drop down in to the following combo Sure..

[Insane]
I think AR 8.5 is a bit too fast for this kind of diff. I found AR 8 to work a lot better. Clean diff, so not much to say. Actually had a lot of fun with this one Hmm.. AR8.5 reads a lot more comfortably for me. I feel like the screen gets pretty cluttered with the approach circles and whatnot with AR8, especially in sections like 00:38:912 when the object placement is less linear.

1. 00:46:315 (5) - I found ctrl+ging this will allow for better flow coming from the previous pattern and onwards to the next That does make the flow smoother, but I prefer for this to feel a bit jumpy.
2. 00:57:224 (5,6) - Ctrl+G this for the same reason as above Same
3. 01:01:899 (5,6) - ^. The flow from 01:01:315 (3) - goes over and then under. Having it change directions from 4 to 5 is a bit awkward This is intended too.

Thats it! Sorry for the nitpicky mod, not really much to say haha. Good luck!
