me me big boy
00:04:648 - I feel like this should be 3 notes and 00:04:862 - 4 notes due to the clap sound that can be nicely emphasized here, next 4-chords land on those too (00:05:290 - 00:05:719 - )
00:08:076 (8076|0,8076|5,8076|1,8076|4,8290|4,8290|0,8290|3) - same thing
00:42:576 (42576|4,42576|6,42576|5,42683|5,42683|6,42683|4,42790|6,42790|5,42790|4) - I don't think this 3 note chordjack is warranted by anything tbh, at least not 3 note chords, maybe tone them down to doubles?
00:48:362 - I think you could make minijacks here tho for this scratch-like sound - for example:
01:01:219 (61219|3) - WHY IS THIS LN NOT SNAPPED TO THE METRONOME BUT 1/4 APART FROM THE START OF THE NEXT ONE
HNGGNHGNHGNHNGHNGNHGNHGNHNGHNGHNGNHGNHlooks kinda like watered down, friendlier version of alter ego in the ending which is pretty okay tbh, I'm fine with this

00:05:933 - Why is everything in this quieter section at least doubles? The song's intensity is lower here - as it is a bridge between more intense sections - so you really should not continue the density from before if not higher. I'd suggest either lowering ALL chords by one note or just the doubles.
00:09:362 - And same here - even higher diffs use lower density here - although with one/two long LNs - but also with less straining patterning (Alter Ego uses some more LNs in this specific section but still)
00:16:219 (16219|3,16219|0,16380|1,16380|4) - I don't get why the first LNs stop with second set incoming, the sound they're mapped to does not stop, there's just a new layer, and also that layer is not significant enough to put double LNs here in 3rd highest diff of the set imo
I suggest just making something like this:
00:16:862 (16862|4,16862|1,17023|0,17023|3) - Same deal here except this time none of the other difficulties recognize any sound here so I'm not exactly sure if this is correct. Same suggestion applies anyway
00:19:862 - 00:29:076 -
Now here's the general issue I have with this difficulty: You are overemphasizing the calmest parts of the song compared to the rest of difficulties and rest of the set.
I see no reason why you would arbitraly use double LNs for every single sound in this section. This is the calm part - again - a bridge between sections and you are layering it almost as if it was a critical part.
You can argue that Zen's diff does that but it just has 3 LNs for the background that are used as anchors and each sound is represented with a single LN/note.
Alter Ego uses double LNs, but at the same time looking at the difficulty and density curve it's still eons less dense.
Of course you can argue that it's not hard at all and I agree - but you are still overemphasizing those sounds for what they're worth in the song. There's not enough contrast in my opinion. So I would suggest really to make this section (and others I'll point out below) as single LNs because it's just how it should be.
There are some nicely executed spots tho like 00:25:648 (25648|2,25862|4,26076|5,26290|1) - fits pretty well, if you don't want to make it all single LNs then you can try to fiddle with stuff like this.
Another exapmles of the same issue:
00:55:648 - 00:59:719 -
01:02:505 (62505|1,62505|0,62719|4,62719|6,62790|3,62790|5,62862|2,62862|4,62933|1,62933|3,63148|2,63148|0) - This 1/3 LN doublestair in a calm intersection is honestly just unpleasant to play
00:38:183 (38183|5,38290|4,38398|5) - Man those 27ms LNs are an edge case, but they should be fine. However why is there no double on 00:38:076 - connected to that pattern? 00:48:362 - Does it correctly
01:33:362 (93362|3,93362|2,93362|4) - Those LN releases are for nothing and make no sense, maybe just use two LNs and end them in the same spot instead of overcomplicating it?
01:34:648 (94648|4,94648|2) - What are those LNs for?
01:38:505 (98505|0,98505|2,98612|1,98719|6,98719|4,98826|5) - Is this intentionally made to be the most uncomfortable one handed pattern possible? For a section so short I would really ask to remove 01:38:505 (98505|2,98719|4) - those
looked through the rest of the diffs and they should be okay - I'll check everything one more time when you apply the mod tho, poke me
