Hey, doing my end of the M4M:
Insane
I see a lot of flow issues in this map in the beginning already, I'm just going to list some so hopefully you get an idea on what i'm going for flow-wise.
00:01:621 (3,4,1) - This is the the calmest part of the song, so you should have more circular flow here imo.
00:04:416 (2) - rotate 90 degrees
00:05:161 (4,1) - again with flow, the song is very calm compared to other parts of the song. Easy fix would be flipping the slider horizontally
00:09:261 (1,1) - You can blanket this better imo. Blanket the first slider to the sliderend of the next slider.
00:11:683 (7) - the loudest part of that stream is the very end, yet you mapped that part with a sliderEND. that last part should be clickable.
00:16:900 (4,1) - is 1/2 beat and 00:17:087 (1,2) - 1/1 beat, but they both currently have very similar spacing. You should have spacing difference here.
00:18:205 (1) - Again, the loudest beat is mapped the the sliderend.
00:18:764 (2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) - I'm not sure what you are trying to map here. the sliders and circles here are kind of placed randomly rhythmically (dunno if that's the right phrase). Like you should emphasize the loud parts like 00:18:577 - 00:19:509 - 00:20:254 - 00:20:254 - with sliders, and the rest can be just be circles.
00:22:304 (4,1) - distance is too big and the slider is facing the opposite way from the next circle
I think you're using too many repeating sliders on the next part where you can just do a circle then a slider. Repeating sliders are commonly used to break change flow to the opposite direction, which you should do in most of these situations. Examples: 00:25:285 (3) - 00:28:080 (3) -
00:27:521 (1,2) - should be a circle to slider, not slider to circle
00:29:198 (1) - Make this into 2 circles so that you can map to the little piano part there
00:29:757 (3,4) - flow break here when the music is still calm.
00:26:776 (2) - this can just be a 1/1 slider instead of 1/2 repeating slider
00:32:180 (4) - just make into a 1/2 slider instead of a 1/4 repeating slider.
00:32:553 (1,2) - & 00:34:602 (6,1) - you can do better than just 2 repeating sliders here.
00:45:596 (1,2) - just make into 1/2 or1/1 slider to map to the voice.
00:46:528 (6,7) - The 6 should be 2 circles and then the 7 should be a 1/2 slider
00:50:441 (2,3,4) - wide angle jump here, almost a line, which is uncomfortable to play. I suggest making slider (4) rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise and place above circle (3)
01:00:316 (2) - slider velocity change so NC here.
01:17:273 (2,3) - should be a circle, then a slider to map to the voice.
01:18:205 (5) - ^
01:22:677 (7,8) - should be changed to circle, 1/2slider, then a circle.
01:26:403 (2,1,2) - spacing inconsistency here. 01:26:403 (2,1) - is separated with a 1/1 beat while 01:27:149 (1,2) - is 1/2 beat. That means 01:26:403 (2,1) - has to be farther. This is only 3.85 difficulty so some spacing should be kept consistent unless the song allows you to have irregular spacing. (this song is a calm song, not a camellia song so it should have consistent spacing).
01:31:435 (1,1) - ctrl+g this please
01:31:062 (7,1) - make the slider point towards the circle.
For this mod i mostly focus on the flow and rhythmic patterns since those are important. There are more flow issues other than the ones i listed, so you should look it over. You also need to work on the aesthetic parts with the map because many of these patterns seem messy & out of place (and i see a lot of bad blankets, examples: 00:14:105 (6,7) - 00:18:764 (2,3) - 00:19:323 (4,5) i don't if there are on purpose or not).
So yah there'd mah mod, good luck on ranking!

Suggestion
00:21:559 (2,3) - I think a triple would be nice here.Watch this short clip of how I would interpret the rhythm (and pattern) of this portion: https://puu.sh/sWTpc/ed19931576.mp4 Notice the flow (This is kinda made in like 10 seconds so If you choose to go with this idea, make it prettier than mine ALso notice how I broke flow here 00:18:205 (2,1) - on purpose because the loud beat allows me to break flow there
00:22:304 (4,1) - distance is too big and the slider is facing the opposite way from the next circle
