How do I improve LN Release?

I keep releasing late, and when I want to release early I cant, its still too late and sometimes just goes way too early. I have tried changing skins and all, and nothing worked.

Had the same problem. I had to force myself to read LNs as regular rice notes so I released everything early. This did 2 things: it sort of soft reset my muscle memory for LNs, and it felt easier to interpret LNs easier. After a few weeks of intentionally releasing earlier than my muscle memory told me to, things started to get better slowly. This is what worked for me, so take it as a grain of salt. Hopefully, it helps you too as well. Best of luck in MWC tryouts btw!

basically any skin where LNs appear to end before they actually do:



it generally makes LN easier to read (sometimes significantly) for many people, and it may also help you release more on time

notes
the thing in common with all cheater/percy/cut/short/whatever LN skins is that the LNs appear to end before they do; they can have whatever ending you want (pointy, fade, nothing, etc.)

they also vary in the length by which LNs are shortened

the technique (some details omitted)
it's essentially just placing a transparent segment at the end of a very long LN body image

you can configure the skin to make the game render the LN body by tiling the unstretched body image repeatedly from the LN tail until the LN head is reached (this is usually used with a short tileable image)

the gap at the end of the body image is what creates the shortening effect (the game starts rendering at the LN tail and renders the transparent part first)

the image must also be very long (or tall, if you will) so that the game does not tile the image; if it did, the transparent part would show up again and it would look like there's a release in the middle of the LN

oh wow, thanks!
do you have a skin like that that you can send me or is that just cheating?

strictly speaking, it's not cheating, but it is controversial because it can have a huge effect on performance without needing you to do much

you could compare it to pausing (e.g. some people will pause to farm, but never pause otherwise; others will denounce all pausing; others don't care and pause freely)

example skin
another one (this one has a way stronger effect)
