00:05:986 (5986|2,5986|0,5986|1) - fairly certain doubles are more than enough for kicks
triples are usually reserved for stronger sounds like cymbals and snares in general
especially since you've done the same for 00:11:472 (11472|1,11472|0) -
00:10:958 (10958|2,11043|1) you could invert of column the two notes to not make a kind of annoying "minijack"
00:11:396 (11396|1,11482|3,11482|2) - ты неправильно поставил тут ноты, ту будем правильнее если поставить вот так https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/18368530/7917
00:12:596 (12596|3,12682|2) - сейм, тут правильнее будет вот так https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/18368534/dcbc, хотя может и по своему сделать
00:50:567 (50567|3,50567|1) - здесь тоже на по другому как показано тут https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/18368557/8c0b
00:45:415 (45415|2,45415|3) - They should be LN, since it sounds the same as: ...
00:46:443 (46443|0,46443|2,46443|3) -
00:47:472 (47472|3,47472|1,47472|0) -
00:48:329 (48329|1,48329|2,48329|0) - Why only these three LNs are 1/4 length, it can obviously be 1/8 more like other similar LNs, like 00:47:472 (47472|3,47472|1,47472|0) -
00:49:350 - 00:50:378 -> The way this plays is pretty awkward on the left hand. You start with left-sided bursts to a triple and then have it transition into a burst pretty straining on 2nd col in comparison when considering the overall structure, which is a bit unpleasant. Some rearrangements can be done to improve how this plays.
Similar issue with 00:53:807, it's unpleasant on one hand considering the way it transitions. Would rearrange it to something like this:
Mappers intent and style is important yes, but the execution and how it plays is equally as important. Maps are meant to be played afterall! So gameplay is a very important aspect to consider.
I personally agree with OP's issues and would encourage for the flow to be improved.
The problem is not the style. It's the execution.
Currently a lot of the bursts do not play out as well as it could because of how you've placed them. It's currently very imbalanced on the left hand due to how you'vr structured it overall.
The bursts themselves are okay, it's the way they are placed.
00:50:558 (50558|2,50615|1) - could swap these around to remove the one-handed minitrill by making it two-handed instead
00:55:178 - 00:56:892 -> The way this just repeats on the right hand twice, but slightly different when you usually alternate feels off-putting as it kind of breaks the flow in gameplay and causes a bit of awkward strain. This can easily be improved on by mirroring 00:56:207 and making some small arrangements so it plays out better in each transition:
01:03:415 (63415|0,63586|0) , 01:03:758 (63758|3,63929|3) - i think you dont need these jacks. it doesn't follow music, and it doesnt fit in to your rules. try removing it.
I think LN=vocal and rice=piano here so . but if you really dont like this you can just move 01:07:864 (67864|3) - to col1 to make a rice stair here 01:07:864 (67864|0,67950|2,68035|3) -
01:09:235 (69235|0,69235|1,69407|2,69578|0,69578|3,69750|2) - seems inconsistency with 01:14:721 (74721|3,74721|0,74892|2,74892|1,75064|3,75064|0,75235|2,75235|3) - ? I like 1st more
01:09:415 (69415|3) - there are two notes for the synth
02:59:129 (179129|3) - ^ because copypaste
01:09:921 (69921|0,69921|1,70092|0,70135|1,70221|0,70264|1,70435|0) - This is really not a nice way to transition with the burst, everything is put onto the left hand suddenly and it causes this awkward imbalance especially when you have to hold an LN on the same hand right after.
This would play a lot better if you just moved 01:10:435 (70435|0) to col 3.
01:11:121 (71121|2) - Is there a reason why this ends on 1/4? Every other LN ends on 1/2 for the same vocals or synths and this is the only time it happens which doesn't feel right.
Same with 01:23:464 (83464|1), 01:23:464 (83464|1), 01:28:264 (88264|3), 03:11:807 (191807|1), 03:17:464 (197464|1,197464|2), 03:28:092 (208092|2) and 03:29:121 (209121|3) -
They make sense since all notes are delayed by a maximum of 1/4 (for synths and vocals), if they go even slightly beyond 1/1 (even 1/21) they go to another cell in 1/4, and if you consider roughly the same ln we have (01:23:464 (83464|1), it should end here 01:23:704 ( 1/5), and I didn't want one slider that barely stands out to mess up the whole structure of the song, although obviously that slider should be longer, so I'll fix it (01:28:264 (88264|3) - ). ( and for everyone else either too not a perfect snap that goes beyond 1/4 or they stand perfect )
01:12:492 (72492|3,72492|2,72835|1,72835|2) - This is completely inconsistent with what you've usually done with the LNs when it comes to vocals and synths - as a result the way this plays feels out of place and a bit intrusive.
Should be something like this to be more consistent and natural in gameplay:
I don't see anything strange here, there is a correspondence with the music itself, and at the same time a correspondence with the idea ( and not much dilutes the gameplay) and although everything is built somehow chaotically ( for me), but I don't see that it is obvious that it is conspicuous :/
03:05:300 (185300|1,185300|2) - ^ because copypaste
01:15:972 (75972|1) - not sure about the 1/8 here? don't know what this is representing
01:18:510 (78510|0,78596|3) - тоже моментик не правильно замапан, вот так будет по лучше https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/18368571/16db
01:21:235 (81235|1,81407|1) - jack but 01:19:864 (79864|1,80035|2) - no jack so you can move 01:21:407 (81407|1) - to col 4
01:28:443 (88443|1,88443|3,88529|2,88615|1,88615|3,88615|0,88700|2,88786|3) - guess you could map this part with LNs the way you did before since it would feel more natural to switch the mapping to more rice based here instead 01:29:300 -
01:29:300 - 01:31:358 notes dont really follows melody. to fix it,
01:29:300 (89300|0,89386|2,89472|1,89558|0,89643|2,89729|3,89815|2,89900|1,89986|3,90072|2,90158|1,90243|0,90329|3,90415|2,90500|0,90586|1,90672|2,90758|3,90843|0,90929|1,91015|2,91100|3,91186|1,91272|2,91358|0,91443|3,91529|1,91615|2,91615|3,91700|0,91786|1,91872|3,91958|2,92043|1,92129|0) - try this
01:35:550 (95550|1,95721|1,95892|1,96064|1) - This is the only time you have a trill this long and considering you dont utilize this ever again, it sticks out like a sore thumb instead of feeling natural. Would recommend rearranging this a bit to be more consistent with what you've established, or you could try using more trills like these for similar portions.
01:32:035 (92035|2,92207|2,92378|2) - There is a similar trills and it is not connected to anything, but specifically the one you showed I would like to leave as it is made on purpose, and tries to somehow show the micro change of rhythm )
01:52:272 (112272|2) -

02:01:929 (121929|1,121958|3,122043|0,122043|3) - I'm wondering whether these chords should be swapped around to make the polyrhythms a little more readable by separating the 1/4 and 1/6 into separate hands
I feel like this could help but I'm not sure since polys are super messy anyway
02:12:843 - ^ but ctrl+h
02:03:064 to 02:03:407 & 02:14:035 to 02:14:378 - These bursts still feel too harsh and uncomfortable. Given the rest of the structure of the map and the sharp contrast it has with the other bursts around such as 01:57:235, 01:59:978, etc... I'd suggest trying to come with a less technically demanding solution.
Trying to avoid groups like 02:03:121 (123121|2,123150|3,123178|1) and 02:03:292 (123292|2,123321|1,123350|0) would be a priority, as well as making sure the structure and how it's placed doesn't affect playability as much as it currently is due to the lack of space to make it flow better.
Will have to play it to see how well it plays out. That first 1/6 in between the LN plus the 1/3 anchor formed in column 2 will be noticeable while playing though, if I had to make an informed guess.
02:08:835 (128835|2,128892|3,128978|2,129064|3,129107|2,129235|3,129235|2) - There's an implicit right hand OH trill here that plays quite abruptly. It extends what the previous burst did and stitches it with 02:08:378 (128378|3,128492|2,128550|3,128721|2,128721|3,128835|2), making the transition at 02:08:892 "weird" in a gameplay way.
Would strongly suggest rearranging the notes on Columns 3-4 beyond 02:08:892 to better balance these bursts.
02:14:121 (134121|3,134150|2,134264|3,134292|2) - 02:03:150 (123150|0,123178|1,123292|0,123321|1) - won't these grace notes be hard to deal with the LN holds nearby, compared to the overall pattern's difficulty level?
I personally think this is enough to call it a difficulty spike. Not a big spike, though. I'd like to listen to ur thoughts on this first before suggesting any.
you can suggest but #4156847/11091200 monosel and random have already written about it and this is the best option so far, ( I just don't know how to balance 1/12 in a song, )
I kinda don't get why you were avoiding shields at #4168879/11111820 while the pattern here was problematic for the same issue owo)b
personally don't think this is a big problem, I already did address how they played from #4147509/11071774 and #4147510 and I think it's the best it could be right now. They're balanced on both hands, so it's not easy to choke. Maybe not ideal, but I don't think it's an issue.
02:15:415 (135415|0,135500|0) - This minijack feels very out of place considering you haven't mapped this sound as a minijack after this 02:17:129 - 02:17:472 - for example
02:22:786 - um no
sure the pattern is easy but this is a blatant difficulty spike and I'm not having this, especially with the chord placements as they are
doubles at most would probably be every 1/2, but you still have plenty of options here:
have doubles every 1/2 with a light challenge on streams, or just a roll (but that's kinda boring), e.g.:
have doubles every 1/1 with slightly more complex streams
have no doubles and instead have a difficult and/or trilly 1/6 stream as the burst instead
Choice is yours but I really don't think the current pattern is a good idea
02:25:700 (145700|1,145786|0) - I'm not sure why there are two notes for the guitar here, unless there's something else that I'm missing
02:26:386 (146386|3,146472|1) - ^
02:27:072 (147072|1,147158|2) - ^
02:27:415 (147415|3,147500|0) - ^
02:26:729 (146729|0,146815|3) - is acceptable because the guitar slides in pitch, which the other pairs don't do
02:27:243 (147243|0) - think this should only be 1/4 in length to be consistent with other places like 02:26:043 (146043|1,146129|3)
02:30:150 (150150|2,150321|2,150492|2,150664|2,150835|2) - Any reason for this anchor? This doesn't happen again throughout the entire stream.
02:34:872 (154872|0,154958|0,155043|0,155129|0) - Is there any special explanation for these four minijacks?
How about like this https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/18425624/3f45 ?
02:42:150 (162150|1,162207|1) - surely this isn't intentional right
(delete 02:42:150 (162150|1))
02:59:292 (179292|0,179464|2) vs. 01:09:578 (69578|1,69578|0,69750|2,69750|3,179292|0,179464|2) representing the same thing yet use different LN patterns?
Similarly it's weird you have a 1/4 staggered release now at 03:10:435 (190435|2) when this never happens at this part - should just make it 1/2.
03:05:292 (185292|1,185421|1) - lets see this is your only same cols in the burst unlike 02:58:435 (178435|0,178478|3,178521|2,178564|1) - and 03:03:921 (183921|3,183964|0,184007|2,184050|1) - so wanna make similar style like
03:10:778 (190778|3,190821|2,190907|3,190950|2) - Similar issue as #4151255 . The idea of having bursts is fine! But more attention should be placed on how these play, depending on how they are structured and/or placed.
Currently, this makes it play like an offset OH right hand mini trill than a "streamy burst" which would best fit this section. This in turn makes a jump in strain and a hiccup during gameplay.
This applies to most bursts in the map, but I'd suggest going over them (using this one as an example) and avoiding any obvious biases by being more careful on where the notes are placed.
03:24:500 - triples in the end "burst" feels like an inconsistency (this is supposedly a js hybrid map but the ending is handstream for some reason)
also not sure about 03:25:700 (205700|1,205700|3,206043|1,206043|0) - being doubles either
03:26:721 (206721|0,206807|1,206892|0,206978|1,207150|1,207235|0,207407|0,207492|1,207578|0,207750|0,207835|1) - Seriously straining on the left hand and with LN streams it makes this even more awkward - would highly recommend rearranging this whole part in general as the vocal LNs also feel off (03:27:492 (207492|1) is not 1/4, it's 1/2) and is pretty inconsistent.
03:26:976 (206976|2,207490|1) - yeah the vocals do start really early for these, but I still think it makes a little more sense having these start 1/4 later (at 03:27:062, remove the regular note to keep chord size, and 03:27:576)
