Hiya, from my modding queue. Things written in bold are what I consider important, rest are suggestions.
Mod is long but doesn't mean map is bad :')

- 00:03:295 - Moving 4 to 6 emphasizes the repeating sound without breaking the building up pitch flow.
- 00:09:431 (9431|0,9568|0) - There shouldn't be 1/2 repeats if it sounds the same as 00:09:022
- 00:14:204 (14204|4,14204|2,14340|1,14340|3) - This should be mapped the same way as this 00:05:477 (5477|4,5477|2,5613|4,5613|1)
- 00:19:795 to 00:20:613 - 2 has no real reason to be empty in this pattern. There are repeating sounds at 00:20:204 and 00:19:931 which are mapped the same but 00:19:795 is the same as well so the structure isn't too clear. Fill 2 or change the structure so that similar sounds are mapped the same. Example(same structure with gaps) (identical)
- 00:38:613 It's the same sound so there should be 1/2 triples on this pattern. Also the 1/2 repeats on only one column is kind of odd. Either make everything alternate or make everything repeat
- 00:39:158 - I'm guessing quads here refer to snares and piano, but sometimes piano key is not mapped and I don't see any pattern. If I didn't get it please explain, here are the stamps : 00:41:340 - 00:42:158 - 00:44:340 - 00:45:704 - 00:45:977 - 00:48:158 - 00:50:068
- 00:45:977 - 1/2 repeat when at 00:41:613 there's none, move 6 to 7
- 00:59:340 - Not sure if the single is there because there's no piano but the difference is so small there should be at least a double here.
- 01:01:386 (61386|6) - This LN seems a bit out of place, it doesn't map accurately the vocals so no point in placing one here.
- 01:04:658 - Should be a triple here for playability and sounds. Also the 2 => 13 appears a lot but it's tricky so try to avoid it if you can
- 01:09:158 - I feel like mapping the vocals would be better here. To map both them and the snares you can go for a right to left flow.
- 01:32:340 - Snares should be triples here just like at 03:01:658
- 01:49:113 - The drums go a little wild from here but are mapped the same way as the rest of the map. Something like 02:06:431 without the LNs should fit.
- 01:51:431 - Piano notes in these sections are triples and go back to being doubles from here 01:53:340 for no apparent reason. Change either one. Stamps : 01:51:704 - 01:51:840 - 01:52:113 - 01:52:386 - 01:52:795
- 02:00:840 (120840|4) - Even if 5 reprents the kick in this short section, this idea isn't used too much later so just move it to 1 so the column is not too empty.
- 02:28:249 - No particular sound is mapped with 1/2 repeats, move the notes.
- 02:29:340 - ^
- 02:28:795 (148795|4) - Column 1 feels empty again, move this to 1 and the next to to 2 to keep the stream flow
- 02:38:613 - Same as 01:09:158
- 03:02:886 (182886|6) - Moving this to 1 makes a perfect left to right flow
- 03:05:749 (185749|1) - There's usually silence here (but doesn't matter too much)
- 03:13:931 (193931|3) - The repeat is usually before the big white tick, so no reason to not have this either on 1 or 7.
- 03:18:431 Same thing as 01:49:113
- 03:25:522 (205522|5) - Extend this to the big white tick and remove 03:25:931 (205931|5)
- 03:31:386 (211386|5) - Moving this to 7 to make reading easier.
- 03:40:522 (220522|3,220658|3) - Move this to 6, no reason to have repeats in the same column.
- 03:44:749 (224749|4) - Move this either to 2 6 or 7. This sound links to the first snare, not to the following ones so repeat should follow accordingly
- 03:45:158 - This section should flow from right to left. It will be easier to notice the 1/3 change and follow more accurately the changing pitch.
- 03:53:613 - The asymmetrical visuals are a bit weird. This looks better while keeping the piano buildup
- 03:59:886 - 04:07:522 - Snares have now become quads even though this isn't the climax of this song. Go back to triples and keep this mapping for the last chorus with the higher pitch.
- 04:04:522 - Move some 1/2 repeats on other columns than 6
- 04:06:704 - There's room to get rid of those random repeats, and they don't map anything special
- 04:15:977 (255977|4) - Move this to 7, it fits both visually and gameplaywise the pattern
- 04:17:340 - 04:34:795 This section is the most intense part of the song, it should look overmapped compared to the rest as you did with 03:59:886 (for example get rid of silences and map snares as quads)
- 04:32:613 - Same as 01:49:113
- 04:43:795 (283795|2) - Missing triple here
- 04:44:340 (284340|3) - ^
- 04:44:886 (284886|3) - Missing quad
- 04:45:431 (285431|2) - ^
- 04:51:363 (291363|4,291363|6,291363|3,291533|3,291533|5,291908|6,291908|3,291908|4,292045|6) - All these objects are mistimed and should be snapped to a 1/3 signature. Also managing 1/2 LNs and 1/3 notes is way too hard so map either ones but not both
