00:00:998 (998|2) - I suggest using both hands rather than clustering on one hand.
00:00:998 (998|2) - Doubles are excessive for this difficulty level compared to the sound.
00:06:422 (6422|3,6761|0) - I recommend reducing the 4col LN to 1/1 and finishing with a regular note. This will create a smoother transition, as regular notes appear in the next part.
00:09:304 (9304|2,9473|3,9643|3,9812|2) - Please distribute the placement; it’s currently too clustered on one side.
00:12:524 - Quads are excessive for this difficulty.
00:15:236 (15236|0) - Reduce this by half; the expression is too much.
00:15:914 (15914|1) - Move this to the other hand.
00:17:100 (17100|2,17270|2) - The sound doesn’t seem to match this column, and it’s hard to see the connection with the other difficulties.
00:17:948 - Quads are excessive for this difficulty.
00:20:659 (20659|3,21337|2) - Same suggestion as 00:15:236 (15236|0).
00:25:575 (25575|1,26083|0,26083|3,26083|2) - It’s harder and more complicated than the Normal diff for no clear reason. Change to a lighter placement.
00:28:456 (28456|0,28795|3,28795|1,28795|2) - The expression is too heavy.
00:31:507 - The expression is excessive; reduce the note density.
00:32:863 (32863|3,33202|1,33541|0) - This doesn’t need to be expressed as an LN. Add the missing sound expression at 00:33:880.
==========================
00:34:219 - till 00:55:769 - There are LNs here that are hard to distinguish what sound they represent. Simplifying these to regular notes would be better.
00:35:236 (35236|2,40659|1,46083|2,51507|0) - Same as above.
00:36:592 - The length of the releases is excessive, and given the difference with the Normal diff, it’s better to change to regular notes.
00:38:965 (38965|0) - This is too long; cutting it in half would be sufficient.
00:39:304 - Add sound expression after this.
00:43:541 (43541|0) - This is an ambiguous expression. If you keep it, it should be placed from 00:43:710 (whitescreen 1/1 snap).
00:55:914 - Quads are excessive for this difficulty.
==========================
00:58:965 - The 1/1 LNs placed here don’t match well. If used, they should align with lower-pitched piano notes.
01:01:337 - The triples placed here are excessive; change to doubles or alternate between doubles and singles.
01:06:761 (66761|0,67439|1,68117|2) - The LNs are too long.
01:09:134 - The sound is clear, but there’s no expression.
01:12:185 (72185|0,73202|3) - Same suggestion as for 00:35:236 (35236|2,40659|1,46083|2,51507|0).
01:16:083 (76083|3,77100|1) - The start point and expression of the LN don’t match. It should be placed on the white line (1/1 snap) starting from 01:16:253.
01:24:727 - Quads are excessive.
01:26:253 (86253|3,86507|3,87354|3,87609|3,88202|2,88456|2) - Is there a reason for off-beat placement? 1/1 placement would suffice.
01:28:795 - Triples are excessive.
01:33:541 (93541|2,93710|2) - Same suggestion as for 00:17:100 (17100|2,17270|2).

Personally, I suggest referring to https://osu.ppy.sh/wiki/en/Ranking_criteria/osu%21mania or checking already ranked maps to make placements that are appropriate for the difficulty level. To be blunt, there is a significant lack of consistency and difficulty gap, so if I were to mod all your difficulties, it wouldn't be as helpful for your growth
Ok well I fixed it to my best ability. The thing is over 3/4 of these were already fixed, as hecker (in my thx for modding list) pointed those things out. And when I tried making an edit and then reverting to the most recent version, it did show the version which I had. So I have absolutely zero clue how you got your hands on an old version unless you had this pre-downloaded for a VERY long time. I was able to take advice on some things, but pls make sure your maps are updated next time.
From "00:06:422 (6422|3,6761|0) - I recommend reducing the 4col LN to 1/1 and finishing with a regular note. This will create a smoother transition, as regular notes appear in the next part."
00:06:761 (6761|0) - this should be a regular note
From "00:15:236 (15236|0) - Reduce this by half; the expression is too much." should apply to 00:20:659 (20659|3) - and other similar places as well bro missed "00:20:659 (20659|3,21337|2) - Same suggestion as 00:15:236 (15236|0)."
So for 00:06:422 and 00:06:761, I am going to reject those suggestions. And I also changed 00:06:761 and 1:06:422 into a double LN so it matches 00:36:592 / 00:47:439.
Now as for 00:15:236 and 00:20:659, you need to define expression and what too much of it is. I see it as "Single LN to account for 4 played notes (and not violate RC)", so what is the expression and why is it too much? However, if you mean the old version of the map still, then yea I understand.
Finally, looking back at this, I was just kinda irritated that day for external reasons and didn't act on a thought I had, but one of the sentences Turrim said makes me think I need to examine my normal diff, possibly hard diff, for RC and maybe nerf them also. So I'll do that.
All changes from nanon are being published now.
EDIT: Normal diff has been reworked to be more fair and not break RC lol. I'll take a look at hard/difficult some other time since I am exhausted of osu, don't want to look at it as I've reached the limit for how long I can look at it today.
