Comming from my modding queue

Just to clarify this, if i say something about 1/2/3/4, i mean the 4 keys you are using for playing (1 = most left key, 4 = most right key).
Anyways, let's go!!!

Normal

00:45:798 (45798|2,45921|1,45921|3,46044|2) This pattern is rarely used because it is unbalanced, you shouldn't use it too - There's an extra snare, but it's not as loud as 00:46:412 (46412|2,46412|3,46535|0,46535|1) - this one.
00:47:273 (47273|0) You didn't mapped LN's for this sound in the beginning, why now? - The sound gets longer.
01:03:257 Missing a LN 01:03:257 (63257|0) - This note represents the LN you're talking about.
01:10:388 (70388|0) Ends where the next long LN starts - I can't really understand what you said here...?
01:33:011 (93011|2,93134|1,93257|3) Why 1/8th? there is no sound which indicates it - The snares start faster, then slower. There's no indication it's 1/8, I'm sure it's way faster than the normal snares that are just before it.
01:44:568 (104568|1,104568|2,104814|1,104937|2,104937|3,105060|1,105060|0,105306|3,105306|1) Here are 4 notes on 2, which is quite unbalanced - It's a hi-hat (01:44:814 (104814|1) - a snare (01:44:937 (104937|3,104937|2) - and a kick (01:45:060 (105060|1,105060|0) - I can easily notice it all.

You should get the basic idea, this applies to the rest of the map, too

Hi there, a rough mod

mod

[General]

1. You have to add another diff which is below 2.50 stars - I've been pretty busy these days, but I'll definitly do it.
2. Rename this diff to Hard, because it's 2.80 stars - Fixed
3. Add informations about the song (source, tags...) - Fixed
4. Add a background - Fixed
5. Always disable widescreen support when you don't have storyboard - Fixed
6. Add kiai time in the chorus - Fixed
7. Only short mod for the pattern cuz it's pretty good - No problem, and thanks ^^

[Normal]

1. 01:02:765 - Here isn't any long sound, one note is enough or you don't need LN at all - Fixed
2. 01:08:421 (68421|0) - Change to note, LN shouldn't be that short - This as a normal note is quite weird. But, a 1/16 LN is just like a normal note, you kinda just press it fast, I added it as a LN because it's different from the other sounds.
3. 01:10:388 - Add a note - There's no extra sound here. An extra note will make this part harder than the intensity of the song.
4. 01:16:290 (76290|2) - Change to note - ^ (actually, 2 lines above lmao)
5. 01:18:503 - Add a note Fixed
6. 01:32:765 (92765|3,92888|0,93011|2,93134|1,93257|3) - Can't hear anything or the sounds are too quiet to be mapped There are some snares, that starts fast and ends slower. I know that you can't hear it properly, you may need a good ear to notice it, but I really enjoyed the result of this pattern.
7. 01:34:978 (94978|1,95470|2,95470|0) - The sounds are same, unify the note amount, I suggest using one note for the cymbal Fixed.
8. 02:19:240 (139240|1,139240|2) - Delete the LN There's an extra sound.

My mod will stop here, same things for the rest of the map.

Good luck!

Only my second mod for mania. I can't do much about patterns and flow/playability, i just know general map structure, rhythm and consistency

should add a name for the diff in the song setup part.
00:31:290 (31290|1) - why not map the lyrics on the blue tick? - That worked way better than I thought it would.
00:32:027 (32027|2) - This pattern gets really repetitive quickly, use other ideas for it, there are definetaly more options available than that. - There are other patterns I can use, that's true. But I tried a lot of them, but that's the only one that is comfortable. The other ones starts creating some really slow jacks, but it really breaks the flow. I totally understand why you said this, but I'll keep this one.
00:32:519 (32519|1) - Because you use the same pattern every time in the previous point, this one becomes kind of limited too, they always start in the middle. Start some on the edge instead. - If I start in the edge, two things may happen. The first one is a trill, and the second one is a slow jack. Both of them will really break the flow, and make things way harder than they're supposed to be.
00:47:273 (47273|0) - It doesn't really make sense to map the same sound using a dozen different rhythm variations though. Rhythm has to be consistent for this kind of thing. If you're introducing a gimmick, it needs to be used throughout the diff, not just at the start. - The sound simply gets longer, if I simply repeated what I did before, it'd be 30 seconds of the same thing. You're just coutering what you said before.
01:16:290 (76290|2) - This might work in standard mode but I'm not sure about mania, ask a more experienced modder about this. - A short LN is just like a normal note, just like in STD you just press it quickly.
01:32:273 (92273|0) - again, mapping should be about following the most dominant rhythm. Just because there are notes there doesn't mean it should be mapped - I understand what you said, but I enjoyed this pattern a lot. It gets harder with the drums, and the speed goes up when I start mapping the snares you pointed out. What I'm trying to say here is, it gets harder because of the drum, than the speed goes up in the no-rhythm snares, make things a little unconfortable, than it goes back to 1/4 (passing through 1/6), which make things really comfortable, mainly if you can play it btw.
Every time you reject and keep this part, the next modder will say the exact same thing and spend less time looking for other things because they found that one. -
01:32:765 (92765|3,92888|0,93011|2,93134|1,93257|3) - This part is also overmapped, there are no sounds to follow. I've tried listening for something to justify these notes but I can't hear anything. Create the map for the player, not for the difficulty. Example of better pattern for this part https://puu.sh/uR7bH/a19dd3bbae.png - Explained it above.
01:34:231 - and 02:37:191 (157191|2) - 03:24:404 (204404|2) - You can add kiai here - Fixed
01:34:240 (94240|2) - Could add a fourth circle here considering you do it a lot in the later parts. Only here bc start of chorus - Fixed
02:21:945 (141945|0) - There's a small issue with how this part is mapped. The 1st, 3rd and 4th repeat of that bass are mapped with a slider but the second one isn't. Add another slider here to be consistent. - 02:21:945 (141945|0) - The second repeat of the bass is representing by this note. The same note also represents the kick, but a second note would be really annoying.
02:24:281 (144281|1) - Also, just because there's a clap here doesn't mean that this slider should end earlier, since the bass is still going. - The clap kinda "counter" the bass, and if I kept the LN going, I'd need to change the next LN position, which would break the flow.
03:00:060 (180060|2,180091|3,180091|1) - this is a composite sound, doesn't use 1/16 here. - Fixed

Hola! I'm gonna help you a bit, here.

Mod

1. Ok first things first, you may want to raise the volume of the hitsounds. It can help you a lot to hear if a note is placed correctly. Example: the second slider of the beatmap when the girl says "deep" start a little bit too early. It should actually begin at 00:30:367, in 1/8. It might seems strange, but it really fits better the voice. With the hitsounds, you can hear it well. - Fixed
2. 00:47:273 and the patterns following, here's another way of saying it: since you're into repetitive pattern (which isn't a bad thing, btw) you should use the same pattern that you start using at 01:03:011. - In the first part there are some kind of hi-hats. And the second one doesn't, so... And if you're talking about the LNs I used for the synth, it really gets way longer than before. (it's just another synth lol)
3. 01:02:765 actually, there's the the voice (which can be used for mapping), when the girl says "love", but if you wanna put it back, just finish it at 01:03:257 with the next slider. - I don't really want to map the voice, I did it just in the beginning, because... I wanted
4. I do agree with the other modders for the note at 01:16:290, but also for all the other notes like that. The thing is, they are so short that they doesn't worth to be sliders. Just as, you said, a simple note would do the same thing. They just shouldn't be sliders, even if they are different from the other sounds. But the note that really shouldn't be a slider is the short one at 02:19:240, you can just leave the simple note, since there's a sound like the others. - You probably didn't read the mod above, but Protastic101 really convinced me about this. xD Thanks anyway
5. 01:32:273 It's true that the sounds are a bit too low to be heard. I would suggest to remove them, but if you keep them, it's ok to have a lot of notes suddenly, it's called a burst, but the notes at 01:32:601 and 01:32:683 should be in 1/8 (they do exist but not the 5 notes that follow). Same for the notes from 02:35:224 to 02:35:634. - ^
6. 03:02:396 and 03:04:363 you might wanna add a note (listen well, there's a little sound) - Well, even if there's something, it's just too irrelevant to map it.
7. 03:04:486 This slider should have the same length as the two other sliders before it, so it should end at 03:06:208. - This slider is way longer than the others, so... yea.

So that's about it! The other modders have said pretty much the rest of it. If you have other questions that doesn't need a big post to answer, just contact me directly on the game, if I'm connected. Good luck, I hope it'll get ranked.
