https://osu.ppy.sh/s/162800There's only 1 difficulty called Marathon in this mapset, marked as 5.57 stars.
And about the drain time and total length?
39:38 (37:12 drain)
39:38 (37:12 drain)39:38 (37:12 drain)Yeah that's why I post this. I'm serious lmao
Well, apparently I need mod on the only difficulty.
B-b-but an essay? I have a lot to say but I often fail to write them down owing to my terrible English. To be frank, I've been looking up to Armin for a prolonged time, for his/her awesome work, or art, The Unforgiving, which galvanized my desire to make another HUGE marathon. Maybe I'll begin with the short history of this marathon.
Apr 5, 2014, when I uploaded this endless-looking beatmap, was a start of the long long journey. I took the following months to get it done, as I couldn't help seeing a fully-mapped version, on my own according. Later on, one of my friends who was experiencing his last days as a BAT bubbled this map, with only 2 mods. That was just a joking and subsequently it was popped.
Afterwards, my first important examination (the first part of University Entrance Examination for students from Jiangsu Province, called Academic Level Test, testing students' basic skills at compulsory lessons) came, together with my preparation for Chinese Physics Olympics (CPhO). And as a result I split up my personal computer in order to concentrate on my schoolwork. My ALT took place on Mar 26, 2015 and I got 4A (the highest level) blessed with my luck, while unfortunately I failed at CPhO Province Contest (score required for the First Prize was 94/150, but I scored 91), reminding me of my weakness, my carelessness, my inattentiveness and, last but not the least, my lack of hardwork.
I kept AFK. I had been longing to get admitted to my ideal university and NEARLY forgotten this Marathon. I kept struggling with my poor novel reading comprehension and Chinese essay writing. I kept attempting to forget about this game and succeed. I kept everything I could do to make every day meaningful. Before I entered the examination room for final UEE, this map'd been lying peacefully in graveyard for approximately 16 months. Later news came that I got my admission to Peking University, indicating that my hardwork without osu have eventually paid off, and I suddenly recalled this beatmap.
Later on I found my previously-"pound" work somehow terrible, and thus I decided to remap some part, as well as add 2 more tracks to this marathon, making it a full album. A strong sense of excitement came as strobe lights when I finally saw it finished with 10000+ total combos, and I sang the song out (partly) to overcome my excitement. By the way, It used to be 4.66 stars iirc but now it's 5.57 due to the new tracks.
And I want to say something about this map as well. Yeah since I've got asymmetriphobia, this map is made in symmetric style with strong hitsounding and unstoppable flow, trying to imitate the way the guitar is played. And what's more, inspired by The Unforgiving, you can also see a lot of slider arts, symmetric or asymmetric. I don't think I need to tell more about this map. Just play and feel.
Though I still take pride in this work, I know there's room for improvement as well. The longer the map is, the more imperfects it will have. I can't appreciate it more if you can help me make this map top-notch.
