I have been playing 4K-mania-type rhythm games for about eight months now. I was improving and improving, with some walls. Now I'm making extremely slow progress, if any. If I try REEEEALLLYYY hard, I can pass a 5-star beatmap. Barely. Should I be able to pass those kinds of maps by now, or not? Also, what are some tips to improve stamina?

Oh yes, I read Drace's guide. Not 100% relevant here

What do you mean by pass? Just because you can pass a map doesn't mean that you have mastered the map. I'd say aim for an S on a map. Anything else is trash. I don't know if you play unranked, but by looking at your current play time, you seem to be doing alright. Assuming that you only play ranked, you have played for 2 days OVER 8 months. Thats not much. Play more, I'd say an hour and a half everyday, and you will improve significantly. To improve stamina try using a scissor switch keyboard instead of a mechanical one. If you are using a scissor switch keyboard and you are getting tired in some 4 star maps, there's something wrong with your fingers and you should see the doctor.

2. play that
3. good at it now?
4. go to step 1

I am using a laptop keyboard and getting kinda tired on upper 4-star maps. I have joined osu! in December, and have not played much of osu!, I played RoBeats! a LOT during that time and before then. You think something might be wrong physically?

From my experience, 4 star maps aren't tiring, except for a few maps. I believe you are mistaking your stamina with your ability to read patterns. Your highest pp play is triumph and regret and you only have a 90%. Dont focus on getting pp. First learn the patterns. Then focus on your stamina.

what

just because something isn't tiring for you doesn't mean it isn't tiring for someone else

its pretty hard to mistake a physical stamina issue for a reading issue

looking at top pp plays is never useful and telling newer players not to play ranked never works

the foundation of playing any map is being able to read the patterns and being able to physically
play them, this means that reading and stamina are equally important and should be treated as such

the main issue looks like hes played robeats and thats already beyond saving

LOL well yeah, the hardest RoBeats map is nowhere close to the hardest osu! map, so yeah

Also, the fact that you even know what RoBeats is is beyond saving
