Easy is a bit short!

I can play only normal and I liked it. Can't comment on timings much, I'm not experienced enough but I noticed one thing about your combos. At the beginning you start new combos at hi-hat. That goes well until 00:42:372 (5) when there's still old combo at hi-hat. And next combo right after start's at 00:46:618 (1) and it's hi-hat again. Another hi-hat is at 00:49:924 (6) and it's end of combo again.

Choruses are good, second verse (starts at 01:28) is mixed (but I think the hi-hats are mixed too). Then it's all good until 03:35:755 (6) and 03:39:763 (6). Not saying those are mistakes to correct, just a feeling that it could be more smooth/consistent. It's up to your judgement on that case.

It's not random; white combo colour is for kiai fountains (uprising vocal parts), then it's followed by previous combo colour, and then I add NC to mark new part in music.

I don't understand the purpose white combo color stuff and the kiai that goes along with those white combo colors. Also with the kiai, why does this section 03:11:572~03:21:127 kiai but 01:52:321~02:01:923. Also, you have TOO MANY KIAI FOUNTAINS.

Especially if someone doesn't know the song and wants to SS a song, it could be an easier guide to see that the slider is slower. Or do something similar like vass did. — Eh, but other diffs use tick rate 1! Also, it's only 0.7x at such small amount of BPM, so it won't cause anything bad

Cool map

1. #1 (to SMIC): "blanket" isn't the only thing that matters, and not every slider that goes around a note or another slider is intended to be a blanket. Also, sometimes overlap is a part of style (typical example).
2. #2 (to Gabe): unsnapped timing point is worth snapping if and only if it doesn't work as it should. When we talk about green points, this means that it's placed later than tick with note on it, so hitsound doesn't apply, or earlier, so it affects another note or slider. The same goes about kiai: it needs to be started exactly on tick. In other cases, it doesn't matter.

General

The slider speeds in the harder difficulty are downright awkward in places. I can't tell is if it's because of lag or what, but it's really not very fun to play sliders that are constantly slowing down.

I'm not entirely sure about some of your timings. There are some that I know are off.

03:09:957 - This needs to start on that long white tick. -10 ms — Nah, this will make it sound too early
03:11:562 - Red line here — A single 5ms jump doesn't make difference, also it's ok
03:11:798 - reset here — The same as above
03:13:672 - Sounds early to the next sounds. Offset seems to be about 03:13:683 - and the BPM around 140-142. 140? Are you.. serious? Even if you meant 130, current BPM still fits and doesn't make it slower/earlier than it is. Also, most of timing things should never go without actual <multiple> tests

Easy

It plays intuitively. Some gaps had me waiting a bit too long, but that's just me. Good difficulty.

02:11:366 (3,4,1) - Spacing should be exactly 0.9? — Umm... I'm sorry to say that, but those are numbers. Just numbers. You can't see a difference between 0.9 and 0.95 when you're playing a map (hell, even 0.9 and 1.0), so it matters really nothing at such <relatively> low BPM and SV
02:15:637 (4,5,1) - ^ — ^
02:17:050 (1,2,3,4,5) - This slow down is really notable while playing. I think it would be better off if you made the sliders seem as fast as the 127 BPM ones. Maybe a 1.1 x might work here. — I don't knowwwww.. probably doesn't need fixing since it's easy and it's supposed to be slow, no matter how
02:38:828 (5) - The rhythm transition here is strange. Perhaps delete and extend the slider before it to that spot. — But I lose a clap then! Ok, added a repeat instead of this note
02:53:041 (2) - Move here 02:53:518 - ? That's the rhythm that the repeat is mapped to. — I don't wanna skip downbeat, also, it will give extra gap

Normal

This song supports differences in distance snap. I think it falls below potential when you keep it all at one distance snap. The intro for example, I keep ending up waiting over the next note for a fraction of a second and that means I'm overtaking the beat. Spacing some parts at a higher snap such as 1.2 might make it play a lot better. — Not sure if I should break spacing. Anyway, I'll probably take this in consideration

00:36:693 (3) - I keep expecting this note to be a half beat earlier. — But it's spaced properly!
Actually I expected a lot more of the beat here to be mapped. I think this combo can be done a lot better. — I don't wanna bring too much of 1/2 in the beginning
01:53:492 (2) - Sounds weird. I suggest you break up into notes and ignore the red tick. It sounds better. — Eeh, I wanna keep it to follow guitar
01:54:430 (4) - Start of this sounds weird. Check timing. Perhaps -3,5 ms and then check BPM. — It sounds weird because of custom clap applied and fast drums in music. Plays fine, seems to be timed fine for me
01:57:247 (2) - Turn into a single note instead? — Uh, the reason is still the same, don't wanna loose an extra (off)beat
02:06:428 - Add note? — Oh, that's a good one!
02:20:384 - Why isn't there a note here? — Well, it's some kind of emphasis
03:43:813 (1,2,3,4) - I don't care for these hitsounds. — Okay, you got me. I really don't know what to do here, I applied something... guess it isn't worth it. Ok, changed it to finish+<nothing> pairs

Hard

The spacing is a lot better than the last difficulty because it uses 1.6 SV, but I can still notice many sliders as too slow. Also the slow down 0.7x sliders don't really add fun to the song. They may fit, but they weren't really enjoyable at that speed. It isn't like the soft vocals or soothing transitions that instrumentals that commonly use slow downs have. It's just a vocalist slowing their voice down several BPM lower than usual. I know you're working with the song but too slow is too slow. — I see what you're talking about. Well, I don't know why I still have this part, it's really too slow for Hard, so I'll remap it soon to make something like Vass did

01:03:319 (1) - Meh. This is so slow. — 1.2x now, I hope it's still fine
01:12:883 (1,2,1,2,3,4,5) - All the sliders here are awkwardly slow. — Not really, I'd say they follow voice, also they're slow because they have such shape
01:34:218 (2,3) - ^ (Sliders are slowing because of the BPM, but they really shouldn't be slowing) — It's just you, tney're faster than previous ones
01:36:101 (3,6) - ^ — Barely noticeable because there were notes before it, not sliders
02:24:678 (1) - Meh I don't like this slider being so slow. I guess you can keep. — I will keep, because I tried to map to guitar solo, ha
02:52:802 (1,2,1) - Odd flow through here. You have to move at different rates to hit each note. I think you should move at the same rate. also I should note that it feels weird having to speed up so quickly during a slow down. It's unfitting. — I'll remap the whole slowdown *makes a note*
03:25:378 (3,4,5,1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4) - Awkwardly slow sliders — Can't be helped :<


Conclusion

This set was mostly mapped fine, but the effects of having the BPM change so often is creating serious flow issues for me. I don't feel comfortable staring if I don't think the flow is stable. — Eh. Let's hope it's not that noticeable; also these changes are small enough (average difference is 1.5 ~ 2 beats per minute), so I think there's nothing wrong with it
