1. Unused hitsounds:

2. The .osz file is 34.32mb. Generally you want to keep it under 30 if you have a storyboard/video. Yup, but not possible without removing the SB.
3. Isn't this considered as dubstep? You could probably add it in tags as well. http://vocadb.net/Al/1959 Sure.

[Cow Milk Marathon]

1. 00:48:619 (1,2) - Not sure how I feel about this overlay, which is constantly appearing throughout the map, personally I would make the overlayed hitcircle a jump, for a sightread it could potentially be confusing. Even though it's my personal opinion, I think it's still fine and you could probably keep it. Yeah, i don't think it's worth changing it since i use it so many times, and it kinda fits xd
2. 01:06:484 (1,1) - Ctrl + G for the rhythm, and change the rest accordingly however you like, because on 01:06:147 (1) - it feels like it is following the vocals but the next slider isn't. Same goes for this 02:54:349 (1,1) - . It doesn't make sense for the kicks if i change it, because the drums are stronger than the vocal here, so the sliders and circles are emphasizing it.
3. 04:36:653 (2) - 04:36:653 (2) - The flow here seems a little off to me. Maybe a triple could work better? I will consider this actually.
4. 04:37:242 (5,6) - Remove these and put a hitcircle here 04:37:327 - ? Because of the synths, they are intense on those beats and the rest aren't even noticable, I think it feels better like that. Or remove the triple and make it like this 04:39:518 (3,4,1) - . I don't think it fails as it is now, since the kickslider starts on the strong wub, which is fine because it's emphasizing.
5. 05:33:113 (1) - I don't agree with the 1/1 slider here. My rule for 1/1 sliders is: Am I missing a beat here? If no then 1/1 slider, if yes then no 1/1 slider. And I mostly only use 1/1 sliders to follow the vocals even if I ignore a beat. So the 05:33:282 - 'ki' vocal should be mapped in my opinion. Same for 05:29:911 (4) - . I basically did this while knowing that i skipped the vocal. But i want to keep it because the kicks are stronger imo.
6. 05:34:462 (1) - This is exactly what I'm talking about. I like this one :> Yeah, i basically mapped the same rhythm over and over, but there's some part where i skip the vocals, because i don't prioritize it in this part. (Same with the earlier part.)
7. 05:50:641 (1) - These lines 05:50:641 (1) - on the square are not parallel :< My OCD kicks in. Fixed!
8. 07:05:304 (4) - Same thing with the 1/1 slider here, I prefer an other rhythm that follows 07:05:473 - this beat. Fixed!
9. 07:06:653 (3) - ^ These sounds are not meant to be mapped to every single time D:

That's all from me. The map was pretty fun to play. Good luck! (◕‿◕✿)

1. Is there a particular reason for the word Lactose? Sugar would make me think of Candy or Sweets, not Milk.
2. 00:20:810 (1) - The spinner should actually end on the 1/8th tick at 00:23:970 from what I can hear.
3. 00:32:271 (4,5,1) - Why the weird DS for the triplet here? Why not have all the notes equally spaced?
4. 00:57:214 (1) - You could tilt this slider upwards a bit to have the end better fit on the bend of the slider.
5. 01:46:259 (5,1) - This really stood out to me when watching and playing the map. I feel like you should either stack the 5 on 1's slider end like you did here (01:29:742 (3,4) - ) or have the 5 on the inside rather than the outside of the slider like here (00:45:079 (2,1) - ). Either works since you've used both already, and I think they both not only look better but also make more sense with the rest of the map prior to this point.
6. 01:58:731 (1) - Could you either make this blanket 01:58:057 (1) - better or make it look different? I'm not a huge fan of this slider visually as it just seems... weaker than the others. I personally like this a bit more.
   
   ^

   
   You could also make it bend on the red tick specifically if you were lacking ideas for a change.
7. 02:49:799 (7,1) - Maybe move the 7 to the slider end of 1? It just feels a bit lackluster for the hitsounding and SB on 1.
8. 03:52:495 (2,3) - Fix blanket.
9. 04:24:349 (1) - The "Whoosh" sound effect on this note makes the transition in the song itself seem really jarring. I don't like it. It sounds like its cut and pasted together.
10. 06:14:911 (1) - Here too.
11. 06:19:124 (1,3) - I think let the 3 overlap the 1 a bit more. I think it helps by making the jump to the slider 4 slightly larger (which it needs) and it'll also (depending on how you position it) carry some of the stacking themes from previous sections in this kiai.
12. 06:30:417 (1,2,3,4,5) - This seems really weird. Nothing in the music makes sense for the DS change between 1 and 2. I guess you ran out of room, but see if you can make something else work?
13. Overall its a really solid, consistent map. I really enjoyed playing it and I can't wait to see this get ranked.

1. Is there a particular reason for the word Lactose? Sugar would make me think of Candy or Sweets, not Milk. Lactose looks cool, but might change if a BN confirms that it should be renamed :d

4. 00:57:214 (1) - You could tilt this slider upwards a bit to have the end better fit on the bend of the slider. The slider tilts a bit down so it fits with the previous circle D:

Either works since you've used both already, and I think they both not only look better but also make more sense with the rest of the map prior to this point. It only breaks the flow if i change it like the other slider, so i would rather keep it like this.

  [General]

1. The soft-hitwhistle sounds way too much like the normal-hitnormal at the moment, which isn't good since they're used differently and sometimes interchangeably, so it ends up sounding like they're all the same hitsound, making parts in the map way too monotonous feedback-wise.
2. Why does square.png have transparency? Seems a bit unnecessary, could probably crop s.png as well, unless this breaks some effect in the storyboard. Regardless, the storyboard is actually very optimized already and runs completely fine, so the SB Load being high doesn't matter. SB Load is just the result of how much of the screen is covered, and far from a direct correlation to drops in performance. Just fyi in case someone questions it later.
   
   [Lactose Marathon]
   Overall the NCs look quite messy and inconsistent. I like the idea of making them elaborate and intricate, but if consistency isn't maintained it generally ends up making things look random instead, which you'd want to avoid. There's some other stuff about hitsounding as well, but the map itself object-wise is nice.
3. 00:35:641 (3,1,2,3,4) - Would be cool if the concept used for 00:24:855 (3,1,2,3,4) - 00:30:248 (3,1,2,3,4) - was also used here. That way you'd bring more contrast for when the song actually changes at 00:39:181 - .
4. 00:37:327 (6) - Should probably NC this and remove from 00:37:495 - for consistency with 00:26:540 - .
5. 00:42:214 - Compared to other combos around here this one seems a bit long, how about placing an NC here?
6. 00:46:765 (1) - Compare this to 00:49:462 (5) - in terms of NCing, 00:47:271 (1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2,3,4) - with 00:58:057 (1,2,3,1,2,3,4,5,6) - , etc.
7. 00:49:967 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - oh btw regarding your hitsounding usage of the kick drum things, avoid having them on all notes like this, as it'd just ruin the contrast it's there to build. Just makes it seem weird when stuff like 00:49:293 (4) - doesn't have one when everything else does, if that makes sense. So basically remove all of them except those that actually land on the respective sound, 00:49:967 - 00:50:810 - etc. Applies everywhere else as well. Stuff like 01:02:439 - sounds really strange compared to the surroundings like this, for instance, and also makes the kiai sort of misleading with half of the triples providing feedback and the rest not lol
8. 01:02:102 - Compared to the other sections, this has way more NCing. It is a bit higher pitch and it is a sort of transitional phase, but I can't see all these combos being warranted compared to other parts with similar sounds. 01:02:439 (1,1,2,1,2,1,2) - is very similar to 00:51:315 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - , for example. Regardless, I would try balancing these across the map more equally, having all ncs in the same spot will not only mess up the HP drain calculation but also make it stand out when it's not warranted like in this case.
9. Anyway there's a bunch of other inconsistencies in combos and I highly encourage you to look through the map again and make sure everything is in order, there's some really obvious ones like 01:21:484 (5) - 01:10:697 (1) - or 01:14:574 (4) - 01:25:360 (1) - and so on, you get the idea. Also in case you're doing pattern based NCing, try only relying on the song for NCing as much as you can, as the patterns themselves are also reliant on the song, after all. There's some tricks you can use for finding inconsistencies, like checking analogous parts, for example comparing 01:39:855 - with 05:39:855 - to notice that 01:41:877 (4) - is inconsistent with 05:41:877 (1) - etc.
10. 01:29:068 - Snares are suddenly gone here hitsounding-wise, despite still being there in the song. Is this intentional and if so, why? Adding snares here would make much more sense and also contrast the feedback much better from what I can see. Having kick drums on every single object shares the same problems as the other point regarding this. If the snare you're using is too powerful, try a different sound, for example, although it's still the same sound as 01:39:855 - is using so /shrug
11. 02:17:271 (1,2,2) - You could probably still add whistles to these like 00:29:405 (1,2,2) - , on top of the snares.
12. 02:39:181 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,1,2,3) - The intensity here is a bit sudden and unwarranted from what I can hear. 02:39:349 (2,3,4) - and 02:40:023 (2,3,1,2,3) - by themselves are probably fine, but having them consecutively like this makes it seem more intense than it actually is, especially comparing the density to the rest of the section. There are some faint hit-hats, but reflecting them like this seems like it's overdoing it a bit.
13. 02:58:731 (3,4,1,2,3,1,2) - The rhythm here doesn't seem like it's following anything in particular. 02:56:035 (3,4) - are apparently done the same way as 02:58:731 (3,4) - , even though 02:59:068 (4) - is clearly different in the song. Similarly it doesn't seem like the drums are really taken into account when comparing 02:59:405 (1,2) - with 03:00:079 (1,2) - as they land on different spots, yet are the same in the map. Could try swapping 02:59:068 (4,1,2) - rhythmically, although 02:57:720 (1,2) - is likely going to get ambiguous with 02:59:068 - that way hm hm, but at least 02:59:405 - will accentuate the drums better by being 1/2 instead of circles.
14. Oh ye about hitsounding, there seem to be some kick drums that are missed as well, for instance 03:05:978 - . According to other parts like 03:03:450 - , this would have a normal sampleset.
15. 03:48:113 (4) - Could probably make this have a space in between the borders like this, as was done with 03:58:900 (4) - , 04:08:169 (1) - and 04:11:372 (2) - , for the sake of visual consistency.
16. 07:16:933 (1) - Map commonly has a visual gap between slider borders, so could maintain consistency by doing the same thing here. makes the concept more defined and recognizable, and less like it's done randomly or unintentionally.
17. 07:19:714 (1) - This spinner is going for way too long, it's already silent at 07:26:372 - so I'd have just ended it there. Makes no sense to keep spinning 400 rpm to complete silence, and it's not like you've got a 5 min threshold to keep since you're already up at 7 min here. Also would silence the slider end, feels a bit abrupt to end it with a drum sound out of nowhere.
    
    So in summary, the new combos are pretty inconsistent and there's too many examples for me to mention one by one, so try looking through this yourself a bit. You can still ask if you're unsure though. The hitsounding seemed really monotonous at first, but then I realized it's likely because of the soft-hitwhistle and normal-hitnormal sounding too similar. Well, there are still some minor hitsounding things that can be taken care of but the major thing is the kick-drum sounds. Switch the files for something else that'd be more fitting and different from the normal-hitnormal, and then adjust as you see needed. Again, you can ask if you'd like my opinion on things.

First thing to say, This storyboard and map is amazing
Second thing, I mod from my own mapping style so some things you might not like.

1. I see you dont like corners :^) http://puu.sh/xfXwt/f976c93429.jpg Nah :^)
2. 00:20:810 (1) - the spinner should end 00:24:012 - there. I listened to it alot of times and the music stops right there. I already tried to extend the slider to there when mapping this, but it sounds off for me.
3. 00:24:518 (2,1) - this overlap you can avoid xD That overlap is intentional, I do it a lot in this map as it's a part of the style!
4. 00:26:372 (5,3) - same here ^^
5. 00:27:046 (1,2,3) - 00:27:888 (1,2,3) - why is this suddenly more spaced than 00:25:697 (1,2,3,4,5) - 00:25:023 (1,2,3,4) - , its basically the same melody ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ same with some parts later. If you want to space them more you could gradually change the ds but like this is unconsistent If you check from 00:35:136 - you will see that I do the same on this part too, so it's not inconsistent and it would be too repetitive to always have the same pattern which is what I want to avoid.
6. 00:29:405 - would fit better with a triple since 00:29:490 - is not the same melody as 00:29:658 - 00:34:799 (1,2) - these two has the same melody so. If you see my point for later parts, if there are any, too lazy to check xD Wait what do you mean?? The sounds are the same, that's why I used the same hitsounds on them ô.ô
7. 00:30:838 - should be something here I'm keeping the first section simple, so I don't map all the sounds available.
8. 00:37:495 (1,2,1,2,3,4) - this part looks like it has been copied xD from 00:26:709 (2,3,1,2,3,4) - LOL it hasn't, it's just the same pattern with same sounds so I recreated it.
9. 00:53:169 (4) - would look better if you placed it over instead, the overlap wouldnt be fucked up I did it on purpose, if you rest the map at that part you can see that it's easier to read when it stacked on the circle below, and that's what I was aiming for.
10. 00:55:697 (2) - this overlap was kinda ugly D: dunno what to do with it tho :/ dont get any ideas 00:55:023 (6) - could stack it with this one tho but I personally dont like it :/ I don't see any overlaps...
11. 00:57:214 (1) - would look a bit better if you stacked it with the slider completely http://puu.sh/xfWO5/3e06ae292f.jpg Fixed!
12. 01:03:282 (2) - would look better if you stacked it on the top end http://puu.sh/xfWSf/5a775ec7bb.jpg didnt do it perfect but yeah you see my point Same explanation as 00:53:169 (4) -
13. 01:05:136 (2) - ctrl+g this and stack sliderstart on 01:04:124 (1) - would play nice and would give more space for this 01:05:473 (1) - I wasn't aiming for a circular flow here, that's why the sliders are the same direction. Another reason is because I wanted to create the zigzag flow like the jumps' flow are like after those sliders.
14. 01:08:506 (6) - I personally dont like stacking notes like this on sliderends of a kickslider, since alot of people will see this note as nothing and then break :/ It's more readable that stacking it under the sliderhead.
15. 01:11:203 (5,2) - this overlap could be avoided This overlap is on purpose.
16. 01:13:900 (6,2) - dont know if its intentional overlaps tho ^ so Ill leave it for now They're very much intentional xD
17. 01:19:293 (6) - this is cool tho, nice overlap too Acutally this one wasn't intentional, so fixed it lol.
18. 01:26:203 (4,1) - the transition is horrible D: Fixed!
19. 01:26:877 (1) - you could make this slider more symmetrical tbh D: http://puu.sh/xfX7b/66073d03a6.jpg <- after tweaking it a bit 01:27:214 - even tho the sliderend should be a beat since the music is strong there I'm not sure what you mean by the symmetrical part here tbh.
20. 01:33:113 (1) - would look better with the slider like http://puu.sh/xfXda/0997f7686d.jpg Fixed!
21. 01:45:248 (1) - Im sorry but this slider cant be ranked, it overlaps the erh cant remember the name of it, something Unstable rate just look in f5 I will let this be for now, because it only overlaps the tiniest bit of the hit error meter for me, since I think you can adjust it in the settings(?)
22. 01:49:546 (2,1) - why suddenly going backwards here, you dont do it anywhere else in the map xD It's practically now backwards, because when you play this ingame the flow on this is clockwise circular.
23. 01:57:467 (2,3) - overlaps the UR thing D: Same explanation as 01:45:248 (1) -
24. 01:58:731 (1) - ^ ^
25. 01:59:742 (1) - this one is fine tho if you see Yeah.
26. 02:06:484 (2) - this overlap could be avoided It's intentional so it's easier to read.
27. 02:12:383 (2,1) - overlap intented i guess. Yup.
28. 02:23:001 (1) - why not try a slider like this here? http://puu.sh/xfZP3/80f581a983.jpg just an opinion tho Because it doesn't compliment with the other sliders before it, by compliment I mean that it won't be the same shape as the other sliders in the same pattern.
29. 02:30:585 (2) - put it slightly down so it doesnt overlap 02:30:079 (1) - The sliders are overlapped if the circle (not approach circle)
    touches each other, so this is not overlapped but close xD
30. 02:38:506 (1) - should be more spaced tbh since the same you did here 02:37:158 (1) - The only difference on the distances are 0.02 so it's not even necessary to move it as it will break the pattern's alignment.
31. 02:45:922 (1) - this overlap was a bit ugly :/ I don't see the ugliness in it as it's intentional :v
32. 03:01:259 (2,4) - ^ ^
33. 03:03:450 (1) - should be distanced further since its a stronger beat than 03:03:113 (5) - Downbeats That's not how it should necessarily work. It can also be that the the distance with the object before the downbeat is small, and then the distance with the next object after the downbeat is bigger.
34. 03:03:956 (1) - same as I said with a slider before I still don't understand what you exactly meant...
35. 03:16:259 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1) - nothing wrong with the stream but just wanna give an idea to not make it so simple, Just listen to the music, where does it change, where does it have an impact. In my perspective I wouldve done something like http://puu.sh/xg0fM/da8a1ec073.jpg since the beat on 03:16:428 (3) - 03:16:765 (3) - I wanted to keep it simple tho, and the direction cut is 90 degrees which makes it look more neat.
36. 03:43:563 (1) - move this down a bit so it doesnt overlap 03:43:226 (1) - Fixed!
37. 03:48:113 (4) - the overlap in the middle doesnt look that good tbh :/ something like this? http://puu.sh/xg0mz/996b154efd.jpg I don't see why it's bad tho.
38. 03:50:304 (3) - a bit higher so it doesnt overlap Basically, my comment is the same as 02:30:585 (2) -
39. 03:54:686 (1,2,3) - the flow was bad here ouch Not imo
40. 04:10:613 - I clearly hear a beat here which could be mapped, so you could start a new slider here 04:10:866 - cause this didnt fit the music well tbh 04:11:372 (2) - Those sounds you heard are sounds that should be mapped if the part wasn't this simple tho lol, also imo it fits the music
41. 04:29:068 (4) - double kickslider here would be cool and fitting to the music http://puu.sh/xg0yX/3f75987bd0.jpg since its like an intenste part why not make it intense Cool idea! Fixed!
42. 04:24:349 (1,2,3) - like what you did here but I think a stream of 5 notes would play better to the music xD same with later parts of the song (dont want to point out all) I will keep it to my idea, since if I changed the concept the whole part will just break a bit with remapping because of adjusting the placements.
43. 04:52:158 - strong beat here I ignored it because I followed the synth that is in the whole song.
44. 04:52:664 - same here, never do slider ends on downbeats unless it reeeeeeaaaally fits Same as above, I don't emphasis the drums as they're always the same on this part, I follow the synth which is more noticeable imo.
45. 05:18:282 (1,2) - overlap again D: Same respond as 02:30:585 (2) -
46. 05:33:113 (1) - put a white point in the slider on the 2nd part after the red point to make it look more appealing http://puu.sh/xg0Lf/c930d5b1b4.jpg I want to keep it straight so it compliments the next object.
47. 05:34:124 (4) - blanket better and overlap xD It's already nicely blanket :v
48. 05:50:641 (1) - the first part of this slider looks a bit boring :/ http://puu.sh/xg0OT/96478a93c6.jpg but the 2nd half is Kreygasm Fixewd!
49. 06:17:608 (1) - would be soooooo coool and fitting to the music if the slider would look different than a normal round slider. Example for slider: http://puu.sh/xg0Wr/1afbb252f8.jpg to do as I did you need to change the sv to 1,50 but I think it fits no matter what Round sliders are also cool tho
50. 06:28:394 (1) - you could do the same here, maybe with a new unique slider like: http://puu.sh/xg12g/e7face3edc.jpg same with the sv here This one is already a cool slider tho, I don't want to always use the same shape.
51. 06:39:181 (4) - something here too, cant come up with anything on this one tho but try to experiment a bit. Take more time and effort in to the map, cause the map is amazing. Round sliders fits too imo.
52. 06:45:754 (7) - shouldnt be stacked with 06:45:417 (5) - since 06:45:417 (5) - has a waaaaay different beat than 06:45:754 (7) - I don't use stacking that way, I stacked it because the flow is good xD
53. 06:49:967 (1) - would be cool with a wiggle slider here. Example: http://puu.sh/xg19v/9f422cdd26.jpg I think my slider fits more, as the sounds is not wiggly and my slider isn't not wiggly too.
54. 07:16:933 (1) - the slider room in the middle was a bit ugly, try to put one red tick up http://puu.sh/xg1cH/284fbdcc30.jpg

Sorry for such a long mod haha, was a cool map so I spent time with it
Good Luck on ranking.

1. The soft-hitwhistle sounds way too much like the normal-hitnormal at the moment, which isn't good since they're used differently and sometimes interchangeably, so it ends up sounding like they're all the same hitsound, making parts in the map way too monotonous feedback-wise. Fixed!
2. Why does square.png have transparency? Seems a bit unnecessary, could probably crop s.png as well, unless this breaks some effect in the storyboard. Regardless, the storyboard is actually very optimized already and runs completely fine, so the SB Load being high doesn't matter. SB Load is just the result of how much of the screen is covered, and far from a direct correlation to drops in performance. Just fyi in case someone questions it later. I will ask Exile- about this!

   Overall the NCs look quite messy and inconsistent. I like the idea of making them elaborate and intricate, but if consistency isn't maintained it generally ends up making things look random instead, which you'd want to avoid. There's some other stuff about hitsounding as well, but the map itself object-wise is nice. I will look into it, and fix the NCs as much I can ^^
3. 00:35:641 (3,1,2,3,4) - Would be cool if the concept used for 00:24:855 (3,1,2,3,4) - 00:30:248 (3,1,2,3,4) - was also used here. That way you'd bring more contrast for when the song actually changes at 00:39:181 - . Fixed!
4. 00:37:327 (6) - Should probably NC this and remove from 00:37:495 - for consistency with 00:26:540 - . Fixed!
5. 00:42:214 - Compared to other combos around here this one seems a bit long, how about placing an NC here? Fixed!
6. 00:46:765 (1) - Compare this to 00:49:462 (5) - in terms of NCing, 00:47:271 (1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2,3,4) - with 00:58:057 (1,2,3,1,2,3,4,5,6) - , etc. Fixed!
7. 00:49:967 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - oh btw regarding your hitsounding usage of the kick drum things, avoid having them on all notes like this, as it'd just ruin the contrast it's there to build. Just makes it seem weird when stuff like 00:49:293 (4) - doesn't have one when everything else does, if that makes sense. So basically remove all of them except those that actually land on the respective sound, 00:49:967 - 00:50:810 - etc. Applies everywhere else as well. Stuff like 01:02:439 - sounds really strange compared to the surroundings like this, for instance, and also makes the kiai sort of misleading with half of the triples providing feedback and the rest not lol Yeah i know what you mean here, what made it so weird was the hitsound itself but now I found a new one that I replaced, and it sounds 100% better since the hitsounds doesn't have any bass! So basically it's fixed.
8. 01:02:102 - Compared to the other sections, this has way more NCing. It is a bit higher pitch and it is a sort of transitional phase, but I can't see all these combos being warranted compared to other parts with similar sounds. 01:02:439 (1,1,2,1,2,1,2) - is very similar to 00:51:315 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - , for example. Regardless, I would try balancing these across the map more equally, having all ncs in the same spot will not only mess up the HP drain calculation but also make it stand out when it's not warranted like in this case. Fixed!
9. Anyway there's a bunch of other inconsistencies in combos and I highly encourage you to look through the map again and make sure everything is in order, there's some really obvious ones like 01:21:484 (5) - 01:10:697 (1) - or 01:14:574 (4) - 01:25:360 (1) - and so on, you get the idea. Also in case you're doing pattern based NCing, try only relying on the song for NCing as much as you can, as the patterns themselves are also reliant on the song, after all. There's some tricks you can use for finding inconsistencies, like checking analogous parts, for example comparing 01:39:855 - with 05:39:855 - to notice that 01:41:877 (4) - is inconsistent with 05:41:877 (1) - etc. I will take a great look in the whole map, and fix the NCs!
10. 01:29:068 - Snares are suddenly gone here hitsounding-wise, despite still being there in the song. Is this intentional and if so, why? Adding snares here would make much more sense and also contrast the feedback much better from what I can see. Having kick drums on every single object shares the same problems as the other point regarding this. If the snare you're using is too powerful, try a different sound, for example, although it's still the same sound as 01:39:855 - is using so /shrug Fixed!
11. 02:17:271 (1,2,2) - You could probably still add whistles to these like 00:29:405 (1,2,2) - , on top of the snares. Fixed!
12. 02:39:181 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,1,2,3) - The intensity here is a bit sudden and unwarranted from what I can hear. 02:39:349 (2,3,4) - and 02:40:023 (2,3,1,2,3) - by themselves are probably fine, but having them consecutively like this makes it seem more intense than it actually is, especially comparing the density to the rest of the section. There are some faint hit-hats, but reflecting them like this seems like it's overdoing it a bit. Fixed!
13. 02:58:731 (3,4,1,2,3,1,2) - The rhythm here doesn't seem like it's following anything in particular. 02:56:035 (3,4) - are apparently done the same way as 02:58:731 (3,4) - , even though 02:59:068 (4) - is clearly different in the song. Similarly it doesn't seem like the drums are really taken into account when comparing 02:59:405 (1,2) - with 03:00:079 (1,2) - as they land on different spots, yet are the same in the map. Could try swapping 02:59:068 (4,1,2) - rhythmically, although 02:57:720 (1,2) - is likely going to get ambiguous with 02:59:068 - that way hm hm, but at least 02:59:405 - will accentuate the drums better by being 1/2 instead of circles. Fixed!
14. Oh ye about hitsounding, there seem to be some kick drums that are missed as well, for instance 03:05:978 - . According to other parts like 03:03:450 - , this would have a normal sampleset. Fixed!
15. 03:48:113 (4) - Could probably make this have a space in between the borders like this, as was done with 03:58:900 (4) - , 04:08:169 (1) - and 04:11:372 (2) - , for the sake of visual consistency. Fixed!
16. 07:16:933 (1) - Map commonly has a visual gap between slider borders, so could maintain consistency by doing the same thing here. makes the concept more defined and recognizable, and less like it's done randomly or unintentionally. Fixed!
17. 07:19:714 (1) - This spinner is going for way too long, it's already silent at 07:26:372 - so I'd have just ended it there. Makes no sense to keep spinning 400 rpm to complete silence, and it's not like you've got a 5 min threshold to keep since you're already up at 7 min here. Also would silence the slider end, feels a bit abrupt to end it with a drum sound out of nowhere. Fixed!
    
    So in summary, the new combos are pretty inconsistent and there's too many examples for me to mention one by one, so try looking through this yourself a bit. You can still ask if you're unsure though. The hitsounding seemed really monotonous at first, but then I realized it's likely because of the soft-hitwhistle and normal-hitnormal sounding too similar. Well, there are still some minor hitsounding things that can be taken care of but the major thing is the kick-drum sounds. Switch the files for something else that'd be more fitting and different from the normal-hitnormal, and then adjust as you see needed. Again, you can ask if you'd like my opinion on things.

Me and Mir can help you push this forwards, if you'd like. Feel free to call me back after the map is bubbled. Just make sure ncing and hitsounding is taken care of before that. Alright, my next update will have all the problems fixed! Thank you very much for the mod!

1. 00:29:237 (1) - NC feels random
2. 00:48:619 (1,2) - 1/2 gap like this after a stream is confusing
3. 01:47:439 (6) - two 1/4 sliders here would fit drums better
4. 01:55:192 (5,1,2) - maybe make 1 further?
5. 02:35:641 - You missed something here, I assume you follow instrument here, then 02:38:844 (2) - appears
6. 03:01:259 (2,4) - I don't usually nazi but this could be improved. That's like some kinds of consistency break because you keep similar visual distance between 03:01:259 (2,1) - 03:00:754 (1,2) - but not here.
7. 03:03:113 (5,6) - I know you used overlap 1/2 but it seems randomly placed. I can't sense any differences here.
8. 03:11:119 (6,9) - Overmapped
9. 03:14:911 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7) - It seems inaudible
10. 04:06:147 (2) - Making slider end clickable would be better I guess, 04:06:821 - 04:07:832 - vocal here is ignored.
11. 04:11:372 (2) - same as above, try to make every vocal clickable
12. 04:19:293 (2,3,4) - 1/1 circles is better here because slider end like 04:19:630 - should be stressed.
13. 06:00:585 (3) - Is there any 1/6?

1. 00:30:248 (3,4,5,6,7) - when I saw this triangle first time, I really wanted to play it as a clockwise, so maybe it will be good idea to switch flow rotation here from anticlockwise to clockwise
2. 02:12:720 (3,4,5,6,7) - same here, but from clockwise to anticlockwise
3. 00:34:630 (1,2) - maybe swap ncs here for showing that instrument on 2 changes?
4. 00:46:933 (6) - and 00:46:259 (3) - represent same vocal, will be cool if you make it with similar curve
5. 00:53:169 (4) - hm, it will be more pleasant to read, if you will stack it with 2 note
6. 00:54:686 (4,5) - what about make it parallel to 00:55:023 (6,7)? It will looks better
7. 01:04:124 (3,4,5,6) - ah, as I say, such things looking so good
8. 01:08:844 (1,2) - maybe switch this rhythm and make slider+note instead of note+slider? It feels strange, because you ignore strong sound on 01:09:181 while slider's head cover sound that I even can't hear
9. 01:19:630 (1,2) - same sutiation here
10. 01:47:271 (5,6) - and again
11. 01:16:933 (1,2,3,4,5) - I don't really think this movements represent music well, try to make a skystar pattern? Smth like this - https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/8951667
12. 01:45:248 (1) - slider's end overlap accuracy bar, can you move it a bit up?
13. 03:09:686 (6,7) - 1/4 slider will represent this sound better imo, it works so good here - 03:08:169 (4,5,6)
14. 03:56:203 (4) - move it a bit up for better visuals? https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/8951811
15. 04:18:619 (2) - I would like to make two notes here and make slider's end clickable, it sounds strong enough for it
16. 04:20:641 (4) - what about making this slider with the same angle as you did on 2, ctrl+g and then stack it's end with 3's head? Looks like cool pattern now https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/8951845 (also I suggest it because it's the same sound as you have on 2)
17. 04:55:023 (5) - stack it with 04:55:360 (1) for better flow?
18. 05:39:686 (1) - looks like nc spam for me
19. 07:19:714 (1) - I guess you can gradually decrease volume lvl on it

2. 00:48:619 (1,2) - 1/2 gap like this after a stream is confusing It's a part of the mapping style, and I use it almost everytime so people will expect them.

5. 02:35:641 - You missed something here, I assume you follow instrument here, then 02:38:844 (2) - appears I only follow the sounds that is not the vocal, and there's some places where sound is on when she sings, so it looks like I miss some objects when she sings other places where there's no other sounds xD
6. 03:01:259 (2,4) - I don't usually nazi but this could be improved. That's like some kinds of consistency break because you keep similar visual distance between 03:01:259 (2,1) - 03:00:754 (1,2) - but not here. You're right, fixed!

There are some nice ideas in this map, but it lacks a little aesthetic though. I see..
Fantastic storyboard. Thanks!

1. 00:30:248 (3,4,5,6,7) - when I saw this triangle first time, I really wanted to play it as a clockwise, so maybe it will be good idea to switch flow rotation here from anticlockwise to clockwise The reason why it's anticlockwise is to avoid the linear flow at 00:30:754 (6,7,1) - if it was clockwise.
2. 02:12:720 (3,4,5,6,7) - same here, but from clockwise to anticlockwise Same reason as above.
3. 00:34:630 (1,2) - maybe swap ncs here for showing that instrument on 2 changes? The NC fits better on the downbeat imo.
4. 00:46:933 (6) - and 00:46:259 (3) - represent same vocal, will be cool if you make it with similar curve Fixed!
5. 00:53:169 (4) - hm, it will be more pleasant to read, if you will stack it with 2 note Not ingame, it's harder to reack it there.
6. 00:54:686 (4,5) - what about make it parallel to 00:55:023 (6,7)? It will looks better I don't think it's necessary since it will break the pattern.
7. 01:04:124 (3,4,5,6) - ah, as I say, such things looking so good :D
8. 01:08:844 (1,2) - maybe switch this rhythm and make slider+note instead of note+slider? It feels strange, because you ignore strong sound on 01:09:181 while slider's head cover sound that I even can't hear You have a point, but I like when the patterns are kinda irregular!
9. 01:19:630 (1,2) - same sutiation here Yup yup.
10. 01:47:271 (5,6) - and again Yup.
11. 01:16:933 (1,2,3,4,5) - I don't really think this movements represent music well, try to make a skystar pattern? Smth like this - https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/8951667 I moved this 01:17:608 (5) - to x:46 y:233 so it seems better.
12. 01:45:248 (1) - slider's end overlap accuracy bar, can you move it a bit up? Fixed! You're the second one pointing it out, so guess that it needs to be fixed.
13. 03:09:686 (6,7) - 1/4 slider will represent this sound better imo, it works so good here - 03:08:169 (4,5,6) Yeah it works good there because of the vocal at the start of the second kickslider, but there's no vocal at the triplet you wanted to be a kickslider so it feels bad D:
14. 03:56:203 (4) - move it a bit up for better visuals? https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/8951811 Imo the visual it already has seems better.
15. 04:18:619 (2) - I would like to make two notes here and make slider's end clickable, it sounds strong enough for it I keep this slider, but I made the other sliders after clickable instead.
16. 04:20:641 (4) - what about making this slider with the same angle as you did on 2, ctrl+g and then stack it's end with 3's head? Looks like cool pattern now https://osu.ppy.sh/ss/8951845 (also I suggest it because it's the same sound as you have on 2) I already remade this part on the other mod!
17. 04:55:023 (5) - stack it with 04:55:360 (1) for better flow? Nah, I wanted to achieve a circular flow instead.
18. 05:39:686 (1) - looks like nc spam for me This NC is a must because the SV is different here.
19. 07:19:714 (1) - I guess you can gradually decrease volume lvl on it Fixed!

That's all from me, good luck

I dont find any issuses, just wanted to point some visual and space moments. Alright

02:28:394 (1) - mby change this shape a bit for the same angle with it 02:29:068 (3) - (it will looks more structurized or smth l;ike that ) https://puu.sh/xlkrt/ee2d04b7ec.jpg Fixed, but another way!

04:08:169 (1) - i guess u can come up with new art here. Smthing more aesthetic and conceptable Owo I think this art is good enough, but I can try later!
04:24:349 (1,2,3) - i think u can emphaze this sound without staking. (just simple example https://puu.sh/xlkKP/cb7d00288d.jpg) Wubs here so strong That's too much, I would rather keep it simple/keep the current concept on those parts!
04:29:742 (1,2,3) - 04:35:136 (1,2,3) - 04:40:529 (1,2,3) - same thing. Btw it's okay but looks unconsistent for ur spacing in this part I fixed a bit of the inconsistent spacing by a bit.
05:22:664 (1) - not the best way to put sliderend on that strong tick. It's ok since i showed it by changing the SV to something higher, and the start of the slider is also a strong kick so yeah.
05:37:664 (2) - stack break a bit Fixed!
05:50:641 (1) - same as told i abt sliderarts I know I'm bad at sliderarts.... These are fine xD
