Hi SolarBeam, first off, congratz on your first ranked map.
Since this map was mentioned in #modhelp I took some time to give it a quick check and I want to give you some basic advice for future maps.

Basically, you have a LOT of messed up rhythms in the whole map. It doesn't really feel like it was mapped according to the song, but mapped on a different song with the same BPM and then put on this song.
To get what I mean, you need to understand how the hitobject "slider" really works.
For easier udnerstanding, let's use an example taken directly from your Insane difficulty:
00:56:899 (3) - Check where this slider starts in the timeline. It's a red tick, a 1/2 beat. Then look at where it ends. A white tick, a 1/1 beat.
Now that means that you click the slider on said red tick (so this is where the input occurs and where the player has a feel of ineracting with the music), hold it for a brief moment and release it on the white tick. When you release it, there's no impact whatsoever, since you're literally releasing pressure.
This means: Sliderheads (or starts) feel stronger than slidertails (or ends).

HOWEVER, in most common compositions, it is a given that, in the music, the 1/1 beats (the white ticks in the osu!-timeline) are where the main, dominant beats of the music are. This also applies to this very song. When you look at 00:56:899 (3) - again, you should notice that the sliderhead is located on the red tick, which is a relatively weak sound, and the slidertail is on the strong beat, which is also where a new word in the vocals start.
This feels extremely unnatural, since the weak beats are mapped much stronger than the strong beats are.
Usually, you can focus on the hitsounds: If there's a strong hitsound (e.g. a clap) on a slidertail, but not on the sliderhead, it will most likely feel off.

Of course, there's always exceptions, but for this song I'd have recommended you to stick to that simple but golden rule. Try to apply it in your next map!

And a few other rhythm-based things I noticed:
01:17:986 (3,4) - sections like this would feel way better if you used circles instead of sliders. That's because you have strong vocals on both red ticks and white ticks, and by using sliders like this you only really emphasize the white ticks, again because only the sliderhead has an actual impact.
02:14:508 (1,2,1,2,1,2) - this pattern is inconsistent with the music. You could have used it for 02:14:508 (1,2,1,2), but at 02:15:377 (1) - there's a new liyrical phrase starting, so just going on with the pattern feel weird. When the music changes, the map should change too.
02:19:725 (1,2,1,2) - similar case here, the first two sliders fit very well, but the next objects should be circles according to the vocals

Basically, you need to learn to interpret the rhythms of the music you map correctly. This map has a few nice ideas, but they are, to be quite honest, mostly executed poorly. It also needs a lot of visual polish (for example, some triangles could be aligned better).

Yeah so, good luck with your further mapping and I hope you will apply some of the ideas explained.

thanks zare, I always open to a good feedback :3
yeah, mostly it's because my inexperience with rythm emphasizing and frankly speaking, I haven't got used to standard mode may be the main factor. so I'm really grateful since someone cared to remind me about this, and I'll consider it for my further mapping since I still have a long way to go :)

and also thanks for everyone for your concern and support \:D/
- Nevermore -
gratz senseii you finish your first map let me try it :D

Congrats on the ranking!

Your map has improved quite nicely since I modded it about 4 months ago. Keep it up, and good luck on your next mapset
