Can you recommend me any Normal and Hard beatmaps?
Yes.
Here is a [
map list] to start with, it's separated into groups of 5, because usually you're allowed to download up to 5 maps before reaching the download limit.
Play those one by one, first play the lowest difficulty per map, even if it feels too easy to you, and aim to hit everything for a 300 while you play. If you accidentally didn't get a 300, don't worry, just keep playing. Do not use retry at all.
For "Easy" and "Normal" difficulties, use the HardRock mod.
After you played each map one time on its lowest difficulty, go back to the start of the list (back to the first map) and look at the score letter you got on the first difficulty. If it's S (which usually requires 94% accuracy or higher, and no misses), play the next difficulty, if it's not S, re-play the same difficulty. Do this for all maps in this list, i.e. this means that in some maps you'll stay on the same difficulty while in others you'll move to the higher one.
If at any point you fail, don't worry, just move on with the list, but remember that you failed on that difficulty in that map. Once you finish going over all maps on the 2nd run, go for the 3rd run over the list - at this point you should already be playing some [Hard]s after S-ing the Easy and Normal that was sitting before them. If you failed on any [Hard] in a previous run (and you already have S on the lower difficulties in that map), play that Hard with NoFail next time.
OR, instead of using nofail, you can just play it in multiplayer with friends, which allows you keep playing the entire map even if you fail which is the same as NoFail without using that mod. Again, aim to 300 everything, think about the timings of notes - notice the relative difference between them as they appear, and use this to decide how much to wait between hits. Listening to the drums and bass in the background usually helps click in a steady timing.
If you just do this, and play for about 10 hours per week, you should be getting 70%~ accuracy on Hards in one week, 80%~ in two weeks, and on the third week you'll already be clearing Hards normally without NoFail with 85%-90% accuracy. Keep doing this, keep downloading new maps from the recent ranked (just check whatever got ranked the latest and dl that), you don't have to play their lower difficulties anymore at that point if you can clear hards, just play the hardest difficulty that you can pass without mods (if you tried a difficulty and failed, try a lower one).
Once you get 95% accuracy or higher on all Hards you try, start trying Insanes that are below 140bpm. You can see the BPM of a map in the top-left part of the screen in the play>solo menu. Start moving up and trying higher-BPM insanes as you start clearing those. In 2~ months you should learn to clear insanes no problem. Good luck.
When you do the transition from Hard > Insane, you might have trouble with the AR (approach rate), which is the speed of the approach circle that closes into the note that gives you warning of hitting it. To deal with this and learning to read AR9 quickly, what you can do is watch Insane maps with BPM higher than 170 with DoubleTime and Auto. Watch and try to follow all the notes with your eyes. It's surprisingly effective; watching 3-4 maps like that will make playing high-AR maps feel normal and not any different from previous difficulties you played.
But anyways, I don't know for sure if you were making smooth movements or anything, but it's just something to me I think makes a difference. So instead of just learning to clear a pattern, try learning to play the pattern by using straight line movements.
