difficulty icons and star rating are misleading
actually, I think this mapset needs a 'Normal' difficulty too. The "very long name cbf typing out" difficulty uses a lot of mapping elements that are seen in Hard+ diffs such as large spacings (00:14:380 (6,1) - , 00:57:880 (4,1) - , 01:07:180 (2,1) - ), decrease in consistent spacing (though that may be an error, 00:20:380 (3,4) - ), 1/2 consecutive circlespree (00:55:780 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4) - )
Easy- 00:50:980 (4,5) - the circle 5 kinda deters from your smooth flow, but it looks like you did this as you didn't have any more playfield space to move the circle to where you wanted. You can try moving 00:00:580 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4) - with ctrl+left arrow to "create" more space :^)
- 00:54:280 (2,3) - I don't suggest stacking in an easy difficulty, especially it's the only time you did it in the difficulty. the lack of stacks for the entire difficulty makes this kinda foreign, potentially putting players off. a 1/2 slider would be better imo.
long name diff- 00:11:680 (5) - try moving this to somewhere like x:236 y:77. creates a nice rotational flow at 00:10:180 (1,2,3,4,5,6,1,2,3) - , although you may not like it as it doesn't provide a platform for 00:13:180 (3) - anymore
- 00:20:380 (3,4) - I don't suggest small spacing here as players may confuse the slider 4 as a 1/2 rhythm due to playing 00:20:080 (2,3) - which has similar spacing. Also because you didn't do it at 00:26:980 (4) - , so there's that inconsistency
- 00:26:980 (4,5) - same thing as the previous point
- 00:33:580 (5,1) - too spaced out. this large spacing at the calm part of this song isn't a good idea as it just creates extra difficulty with no support in the music. it would be better suited at a place like x:89 y:165
- 01:03:880 (2,3,4,5) - would make more sense imo to place that larger spacing between 4 and 5 instead of 2 and 3. The tick where Slider 5 is on has more prominent vocals and piano than what is on circle 3
- 01:27:880 (2,3,4,5) - same as previous point
