[ General]

1. The "Who... Is she?" diff has suppressed sounds/sliders at the end, whereas in the Easy diff, they're not. Please make these the same/equalize both diffs to have sound suppression at the end :c could've sworn i did this haha
2. BG is 700x599, which is different from the recommended 1024x768 ;-; i don't think it's necessarily that big of a deal
3. Easy diff doesn't have the same tags as "Who... Is she?"/Normal diff; add Normal diff's tags to Easy's.silly me xd

[ Easy]

1. 00:12:755 (1,2) - Weird spacing between these two? don't see a huge problem with it
2. 00:19:155 (1) - Move to x:284|y:239 fixed
3. 00:44:755 (1) - Move lower so no touch with 00:43:155 (2) - this please ;w; just going with distance spacing, i'll change if i get more complaints
   
   Touch

   
4. 00:46:355 (2,3,1) - ..Find better positioning so they don't um... overlap I guess ;w; fixed since looked kinda ugly (but not the same exact thing as pic)
   
   Suggestion

   

[ Who... Is she??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????]

1. 00:11:155 (1,2,1) - Place first batch of sliders closer to the big slider. It looks neater imo like that -w- fixed
   
   Suggestion

   
2. 00:27:955 (2) - Create blanket with 00:28:755 (3) - this? not a big fan
   
   Suggestion

   
3. 00:37:555 (1,1) - Only pair of sliders that don't overlap 00:18:355 (1,1) - like some 00:24:755 (1,1) - others ;; (do it) fixed
4. 00:50:355 (1) - Even if minor, add a Clap/Finish hitsound :c eh sounds kinda weird
   

simple song, simple map. i liked it, really not much to say uwu~

00:33:555 (1,2) - you could copy 2 and replace 1 with it, or vice versa, and it'd probably look better tbh fixed
00:15:955 (3,4,1) - the lack of any sort of blanket with 3 is quite surprising considering how curved 3 is looks ugly to me and doens't really play any better tbh

ok, here is the mod!! sorry it took so long :/ no don't worry it's fine :]

[ Easy]

1. ok there is only one thing I find a problem in the map, and it is the spacing. easy diffs need consistent spacing, and some parts (00:19:155 (1,2,3,1) - 00:33:555 (2,3,1) - 00:44:755 (1,2,3,1,2)) you made much larger than 0.8x which is what you used mostly. that's all with the easy diff though fixed

[ Who... Is she?]

1. 00:41:555 (3,4) - why is the spacing so low between these 2 notes? fixed
2. 00:14:155 (2,1) - the claps in this diff don't sound very good imo. what I would do is put a clap on every 2nd beat (I prefer soft clap, but normal I guess works as well). so like for example there would be one on the sliderend of 00:12:755 (1), one on the end of 00:15:955 (3), and one on the end of 00:15:155 (2) (the claps on the slow sliders like 00:18:355 (1) sound nice though, but I would suggest make them soft clap) i'll be honest i don't like this hitsounding idea that much, different strokes for different folks i suppose haha

sorry about (very) short mod, couldn't find much xD

good luck ranking your map thank you so much!

General:

While you have met the minimum drain time requirement of 30 seconds, I'd still suggest you map the beginning of the map as well. It's generally not advisable to cut the run time of an already short track, esp. if it's under a minute long, and having a 12-second intro in a 50 second track, when it does have beats, just seems a bit on the lazy side. If you're worried it won't leave enough time for a player to prepare, you can just add a few seconds of silence to the music file. I would totally map the beginning of the song, but as I said before, there is no good place to start the map. The beginning starts very faint and at an almost random section (at least that's what it sounds like). Also, the beats in the beginning are inconvenient to start out from, because of the beginning starting from a random-ish starting spot. I hate not being able to map the beginning, but it really doesn't have a good starting point. Thanks for pointing this out in more detail though, because I wanted to address this.

There's also an unused SB folder. Are you planning to add a storyboard, or are those unnecessary leftovers? In the latter case, you should clean those up. I might be using this soon

Easy:

The first thing that caught my eye was distance spacing. In Easy difficulties it's better to avoid overlapping notes, esp. in places like 00:34:355(2)
(https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/5878726) where a half of the circle is covered by a slider. I suggest a distance snap of at least 1.1x for minimal overlapping. If I get more complaints about this I might change this. I was just following the distance snap and I don't think as of now that it is necessary to change the entire distance of the map due to something slightly overlapping. Especially since the circles aren't overlapped that much in my opinion and could easily be hit by new players playing this map.

Also, maybe more of a nitpick, but the combos every two-tree notes, considering the low HP drain, aren't very necessary. Using 4-5 length combos like this (https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/5878772) would make more sense in my opinion, and would still be in line with the music. Typically in any map, you only want to nc a note when theres either an sv change, or a large white tick (I forgot what it is called specifically). These rules apply even more in an easy difficulty.

Who... Is she?:

Before going into the specifics here, I'd like to ask whether this was meant as a Normal difficulty, or "just another random difficulty besides Easy", because the star rating, short combos, and the difficulty settings suggest a Normal difficulty, while the inconsistent distance snapping and jumps would be more appropriate for Hard/Insane. I was mainly thinking of a diff sort of in-between normal and hard. I knew it would end up as a normal difficulty though, so I set the difficulty settings as if it was a normal map.

Hello~ M4M from my queue in-game

Turn widescreen support off in all difficulties since you do not have a storyboard. I'm gonna have a storyboard soon enough
The background should be 4:3, the current one is not, I suggest you search for a better source that is 1366x768 which is highly recommended. i'll check with maybe a bn or someone that can tel lme if the bg will really affect ranking this map
The bitrate of the mp3 is 128kbps which is fine, but if you can, you can search for one that has a bitrate of 192kbps which would increase the audio quality. The actual mp3 of this map was too high quality and this is the next best thing i could find, i'll put a dl link of the higher quality mp3

Easy

1. I think the cut is just way too abrupt, you may have to tweak this in order to get ranked fairly sure the drain time is enough for ranking
2. There's just too many overlaps which is not good on a easy difficulty, how about increasing the DS so the objects don't overlap? fixed, but notes are very very slightly overlapping still
3. 00:17:555 (2) - Okay so like this is the only one with the clap on the end of the slider, you can clearly hear the other claps on the end of 00:12:755 (1,2,1) - these three sliders cause that would sound much better and the volume seems to be a bit too loud, you can try 30~40% because the clap seemed to be taking over i tried this and i really did not like the way it sounded, sorry
4. 00:22:355 (1) - The hitsound on the head of the slider sounds really awkward with the song, personally I would not put that as the hitsound. fixed
5. 00:30:355 (2) - There really isn't a sound on the end of this slider, just make it a 1/2 to follow drums or a 3/4 to follow instrumentals. 1/2 highly recommended. i just made the slider end have a really low hitsound so kinda fixed????? xd
6. 00:31:955 (1) - Umm from this part, the song is not different than the first part in anyway, I don't see a point of putting a kiai there because the two parts are so similar (maybe even the same) and for such a short and calm song, I don't think the kiai is particularly necessary. the kiai is supposed to amplify??? (ii can't find the right word) how the music abruptly starts again

Normal

1. I really can't find the base spacing, majority of the spacing is random and yeah, not that great for a normal difficulty. I do get that this is supposed to be a custom diff but you should definitely follow the normal difficulty guidelines. this isn't really supposed to be a normal diff, but if i get more complaints then i'll see what i can do to make it more fitting
2. 00:11:155 (1,2) - There are absolutely NO sounds that support this. this is a definite subjective thing that people will have their own thoughts about, but having no repeat sliders sounds and looks so bad to me like i can't handle it, also i would say it definitely fits in some way so i don't think its necessary to change
3. 00:11:955 (1) - Is the SV change really necessary? I really don't think so because the instrumentals flow smoothly with the next set of sliders which would mean that they should be more similar to each other, not different. the violin's pitch and volume become lower on those slow sliders and thats why i chose to lower sv
4. 00:14:355 (1) - The clap here should be on the 2nd and 4th downbeats (white lines) because this part would be the bass drum. i really don't like the way it sounds
5. 00:17:555 (1,2) - fix everything you made like this triggered
6. 00:18:355 (1) - same thing above and with the rest of the sliders you made like this triggered
7. 00:31:155 (1) - This may be okay for it because the middle is actually silenced which is abrupt and different. This seems fine to me. :]
8. Again, the kiai seems inappropriate to me due to the sections repeating. Which would mean you will have to use 1.2 sv on that part too same reason as easy diff
   
   Okay, so in terms of consistency and structure is fine, only problem is that some parts aren't mapped the way it is supposed to, mentioning the 1/3 repeat sliders and the poor use of velocity change. Other than that, I think you should get just a few more mods and start looking for a bn. (I'll check again if I passed the bn test I wish the best!)

Good luck
