Made a quick skim for Pochiko difficulty only for now.

Also soft-hitfinish.wav was a blank hitsound, and I'm not sure the point of having such empty sound. Usages were spotted at 00:16:342 - 00:16:654 - from "Expert", and it doesn't actually needs a hitsound nor functions nicely.
Besides from sections without hitsounds, the basic settings of your hitsound failed to express a certain element of the song. Since the Finish sound is more like a consistent electronic drum, expressions for cymbol sounds in the music was highly weak. 00:13:451 - 00:15:483 - 00:32:514 - for some examples. This is a strong cymbol sound, but there is actually no way to express these in your current hitsound setting. Then should this leave as it is? No, I think you'll need to think of a way to express those elements properly as a hitsound.
Not a bad quality for your first ranked map. Let me know if the general issue has got resolved in all difficulties for a further check.

- 00:09:858 - Let's remove this useless greenline above the redline.
- The timeline around 02:03:608 - 02:04:545 doesn't function properly. Remove these, or snap properly as other diffs if you have an intention.
- 00:09:858 (1,2,3,4,5) - Hitsound felt quite loud here. I personally feel a noticable volume change happens at 00:10:639 in the song, and you may try an adjust from that point. Before there, I believe having a lower hitsound would work better.
- 00:22:202 (4,1) - 01:17:202 (1,3) - Arrange a consistent combo usage please.
- 01:05:014 (1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2) - Imo the pattern this is arranged could be potentially confusing. Even the placements being in a rotaion pattern, twisting the placement made the organization weaker, and less intuitive to read. ctrl+G for 01:05:248 (1,2) - 01:05:717 (1,2) individually is recommended.
- 01:21:029 - This feels like missing a note according to the song imo.
- 01:50:170 (3,4,5,6,7,8,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) - Remap with a rhythm that follows the music better? I mean, the simple 1/2 note expressions doesn't properly reflected this part of the song enough. Due to the simplified rhythm, 01:51:733 (5,6,7,8) - which is actually a 1/2 felt less emphasized.
- 02:09:545 - The volume change felt weird here. Why not from 02:09:701 ?
- 02:43:139 (5,6,7) - The spacing of (6) felt abnormally large compared with the previous spacing.
- 03:00:170 (5,1,5) - Instead a combo usage of 8 note cycle, what about adding NC at 03:00:170 - 03:00:795 instead the current spot to indicate the 1/4 stream of different spacing better?
- 03:02:670 (1,1) - Combo usage felt inconsistent with 02:04:545 (1,2). Although there is a 1/3 rhythm transition, using a similar feeling of combo for 1/1 stack would be more organized.
- 03:16:003 - 03:16:316 - 03:16:628 - 03:16:941 - 03:17:253 - Well I was personally disappointed the way the strong sounds are less expressed, but anyways you could at least consider for a hitsound here. Wait. This section actually has no hitsounds?
- 03:22:358 - This rhythm being completely ignored felt weird. I know you are focusing on the vocal here, but I think you can find a way to express the vocal along this rhythm.
