I see no errors with timing and spacing, but easy feels a bit...empty to me. You might want to consider adding a few things. If not, then you should turn any large empty spaces (like approximately 5 seconds or more) into breaks and/or turn down the drain a little, since watching the lifebar drain away and being unable to do anything about it probably won't sit well with players. An additional difficulty would be desireable.

In Normal 02:42:78 (1), the start and endpoint of a slider should not completely overlap so as not to confuse the player. After playtesting more, I found that offset sounds better @ 116, after all.

Your Normal seems pretty easy for the difficulty, although that part between 02:23:48 (1) and 02:39:33 (15) is much more challenging from the rest of the map. Tone it down just a bit, and make the rest of the map a bit harder. Try watching other Normal level maps to get some ideas.

slider tick rate to 1

normal:
00:20:79 - make it equidistant to the other two white circles. same as other ones similar.
although i did not miss, it can be a potential combobreaker. and i want to avoid this especially on easier maps.
00:58:70 - change this combo please. its not that i dont like it but think of it as a "newbie thing." or place them closer to each other (closer i mean not too close to each other so that it would not look like boring)
01:05:59 - this one too. black combo 1~7
01:11:79 - place this one closer to the end of the slider, you might want to change the shape too.
01:15:24 - closer to 3
01:16:96 - closer to the note before
01:25:23 - little bit farther to the slider
01:59:35 - its fine, but if you want to place them closer to each other, its better.
02:23:48 - change it or place them closer (whole blue,white, red combo)
03:18:62 - change it or place them closer

also i suggest to reduce the drain rate and remove all the short breaks, its better that way

overall i suggest to use distance snapping. because almost every part you change the spacing on the map, which *can* be confusing.

fixed all, i think.

which short breaks did you mean?, I dont know which ones were too short and which were fine...

so check this, just need to do drain rate & find/remove short breaks.

Normal, 00:55:25 (0) - Either shorten it by 1/4 or 3/4 of a beat. Given the way you place the rest of your spinners, I'd suggest 3/4 shorter, myself.

Click again the insert break button in your breaks, I think some are shorter than the position of notes befoer and after them would indicate.

I second the motion to lower the drain, you've made the map hard enough for Normal without needing a high drain. Don't mind breaks too much, though.

Starred...
...and bubbled, since you were so quick to make these changes.

As you said, I've already made those changes.
I've decided not to do a extra difficulty yet so unless another mod comes along with some changes to request, I think this is done...

[Easy]
At 00:27:68 (6) the note is halfway off the screen.

[Normal]
Didn't see any problems.

No offense, but the song is a bit, well... boring. If you could make a harder difficulty, I feel it'd be more interesting. Sure, it's rankable once you fix it up a bit, but I don't think it'd be played very much.
