You might say keep practicing but I've been spamming a lot of easy/hard maps to improve my accuracy but it doesn't work. I feel like there is a specific thing which makes me keep getting 100 and 50.
You simply haven't learned to read the beat yet. You have less than 2000 playcount, you really do need to play more. Beyond that, make sure you have hitsounds enabled and adjust the volume of the music and hitsounds so you can hear the hitsounds over the music clearly.
If you want to know exactly how far off you are from getting a 300, go into options and change "Score meter type" to "Hit Error". Then go back to some of the maps you have FC'd and watch the replays with the Hit Error bar. If you find you're coming in early, just play the map again and focus on coming in later.

I can't get 99% in normals unless I do DT, and even so I will not get 99% but at least an S which is slightly a waste of time because the beats are really obvious so I avoid normal.
You need to play slower songs, playing with DT to increase the BPM just allows you to "whackamole" your way through maps. You aren't reading the rhythm, you just tapping the circles as soon as you see them. You're getting high accuracy this way because your reaction time to the circles happens to coincide with the beat, i.e. each circle appears 1.1 seconds before you have to tap it, it takes you 1.1 seconds to notice the circle, aim towards it and tap it.
Playing DT will only prevent you from learning to read the beat even longer. Just play without DT and try maps that don't have any streams. You need to get used to tapping single beats at a time, then build up to triples, quints, etc.

And also start practicing with the HD mod to improve map reading and not to depend on approach circles very much since I'm guessing the approach circles are distracting/confusing you (well, that's my case at first anyway). This is just my opinion tho.
Don't use HD! Especially if you're playing maps that are less than AR8! HD is easier to learn at AR8-10. All enabling HD does is hide hit circles and remove approach circles. This may seem like a good idea since taking away approach circles forces you to judge the timing based on listening to the music, but you it's far easier to learn the timing by using approach circles as an aid. Once you've gotten used to reading the beat while using approach circles, then you can think about playing HD and seeing how good your sense of rhythm is.
tl;dr don't use Mods, at all, just play more and try figuring out when you're coming in early / late
