Hey Komore. Been playing a lot of your map since it's been qualified and I'm really digging it. One of the more appealing things about your map is the small spacings at 00:49:350 (1,2,1,2) - , etc. They control the pacing to represent some of the changes in the song well and allow for different and interesting gameplay than you wouldn't see in most other maps. Effectively using small jumps to improve gameplay is actually an amazing skill to have as a mapper, and not many use it as well as you have.
I came into this thread really only to give a small reaction to the map. When playing 02:51:268 (2) - , I felt like the map had become too slow and calm. It made me wish that the lyric at 02:51:617 - was more prominent.
But now that I'm here, I'll poke another small point I had. For the pattern at 00:54:931 (1,2,1,2,1,2,3,4) - , you start with a big spacing in the first combo. This raised my expectation. In the next combo you go small, which was a really nice contrast to the previous combo. But then after a small section, I expected that you would fulfill that original expectation of high spacing, and I feel it would work especially nice since the singer stops using falsetto at 00:55:629 (1) - , which makes the music feel different enough that a stronger level of contrast could represent that. So a higher spacing into 00:55:629 (1) - would provide that energy that was foreshadowed at 00:54:931 (1,2) - , and you would have to give yourself some room to do it by moving 00:54:582 (3,4,1,2,1,2) - to the left somehow.
Anyway, great map, one of the more fun maps I've played all year. Stick to your guns, your mapping decisions are creative, engaging, and a pleasure to play.

. These are good precisely because emphasis isn't respected imo.
