I'd say the diff gap between Normal and Hard is too big, but as you asked for gds in #modreqs as well, I guess the Advanced diff is coming.

[Normal]
00:03:472 (2) - it would be better if it started 1/2 earlier and had a reverse. Mapping drums. 1/2 reverse
might end up sounding overmapped
00:07:610 (2) - ^
00:10:368 (2) - ^
00:31:231 (3) - rhythmically better would be if this slider was 1/2 shorter and there was a circle at the place it ends.
Mapped according to vocals/drums here which is a 1/1 pause. The slider start emphasizes the key-change of dashies voice.
The Upbeat here dosnt need mapping since it's not as signifficant as the following downbeat.
00:34:162 (3) - maybe start slider 1/2 later and make it 1/2 longer, so it could have a crash on the end? did somethig diffrent ~
00:58:817 (3) - again, bad rhythm.
01:04:334 (3) - ^
01:07:868 (1) - maybe mute the entire spinner, not only its end? reduced volume

[Hard]
00:17:093 (1,2,3,4,5,6,1,2) - this is too hard for a Hard difficulty. I'd suggest to turn both (1,2)'s into sliders, though the first one breaks a pattern... Know, too many circles in a row raises the star rating drastically. Also, a note 1/2 after a stream on 175 bpm is too hard to play on Hard. Adding those 2 sliders decreases the star rating by 0.12, so it's not rated Insane anymore.
01:07:868 (1) - again, maybe mute the entire spinner? I usually would be on your side but a great mapper
recently taught me that it is all about spread and relation. If it's a 175 BPM song then yeah the hard is going to come out harder
than on a 120 BPM song. The Hard is following the rhythm 100% which it is supposed to do. I tried nerving it already so its
not in the Insane-ranking anymore but leats be real, star rating isn't something you could/should rely on. Thanks tho for you suggestions~
Tho an advanced diff wouldnt be wrong.

Have fun!

Normal:
The following downbeat is indeed requires mapping, but it has to be not a release, but a press, that's why the rhythm is bad.

It's mapped on Vocals. I agree that the downbead is important and should be mapped but in context
of vocals it's okay

Hard:
I know we shouldn't rely on the star rating when determining the map's difficulty, but it is a nice tool to find difficuty spikes. I think it is correct that when you map Easy and star rating suggests Normal, and when you map Normal star rating suggesting Hard - it's indeed inaccurate, but you're given a huge 1.5 star interval for Hard difficulties (which needs even to be nerfed imo) to fit into. If not for the fact that the DS used here is low, I'd really say that this map is rather an Insane.
I might be wrong though, it's just not every Hard player can tap fast enough to pass 170+bpm Hards. I couldn't tap rows of 1/2s on 169+ until I was about 700pp. That's to question of diff spikes, a bunch of circles in a row is indeed a hard rhythm pattern, and not only because star rating says so.

(bc's of that Insane I worked so hard on, only for it to be Graveyarded and never to b seen.)

Uncheck widescreen support, they say it's only for storyboards and if just bg image is HD it doesn't need that.

[Insane]

00:07:437 (3,4) - This is unintuitive, makes think (4) is 1/2 later than it is. Maybe move it closer somehow?
00:42:610 (5) - Are you sure this kind of sliders is still rankable?
