Hey there!
As requested
General
Pretty neat diff, but could you explain your NC pattern to me? It's NC on each downbeat in the beginning, then you switch to each second downbeat after 00:09:187 - and then there appear some rather random NCs, examples 00:25:313 (1) - 00:28:208 (1) - 00:38:546 (1) - 01:04:597 (1) - , and there are also some missing NCs I think, example 00:35:651 (3) - ?
Otherwise-

- try to find a background with 1366x768px resolution to avoid resizing?

- are the SV changes necessary? Normal doesn't use any so it doesn't make sense spread-wise to use them in the lower diff. o.o
- 00:57:154 (4) - imo the reverse doesn't fit well because the vocals stop on the reverse and there are some pretty dominant sounds afterwards that are completely ignored. :c I mean, yes they're all covered by the slider, but beats like 00:59:221 - and 00:59:634 - work better if clickable, imo. D:
- 01:25:272 (4) - similar here, the last beat 01:26:926 - is too dominant to not have it clickable. :c
- 01:28:477 - useless green line?
- 00:25:727 (1,2) - and 00:29:035 (1,2) - play a bit weird, how about shortening the sliders by 1/2 and adding another circle to emphasize the strong sounds/vocals on the current sliderends better?
Same for 00:38:959 (1,2) - - 00:32:343 (1,2) - and 00:42:267 (1,2) - I highly recommend avoiding this kind of overlap/movement in lower diffs as it can lead to confusion easily. >: And I'm pretty sure you can come up with something else
- 00:50:331 (3,4) - shouldn't be stacked, all previous stacks have been 1/1 before so this is too misleading for a Normal.
Same for 00:56:120 (2,3) - and 01:04:390 (2,3) - and 01:16:175 (6,7,8) - and 01:24:238 (3,4) -
- Is preferred default skin intentional? o.o
- 00:00:296 - I miss emphasis on the sound here, you could try a 1/2 reverse? At least it should be different from 00:00:917 (4) - imo
- 00:12:908 (1,2,3) - can you re-arrange this so the reverse of (3) isn't covered by anything? :3 something similar to 01:10:799 (3,4,5) - maybe
- 00:52:191 (1,2) - Is this intentional? Shouldn't (1) blanket previous circles? o.o
- 01:05:424 (1) - Consider ending the slider earlier to emphasize the vocals starting at 01:06:664 - ? Feels a bit off while playing that there's something so dominant in the middle of an object, but there's nothing to emphasize it.
- 01:13:694 (1) - hmmh, the extended sliders (the folllowing ones as well) match the vocals nicely, but 1/2 slider + 2 circles would still play better, imo, because the circle feels more like it's disrupting the melody, if you have two circles it plays smoother tho and you'd still have everything emphasized. Alternatively, you could try using the same rhythm as in Shi > http://puu.sh/r5byb.jpg . It feels smoother to play as well, because it only uses sliders.
- 00:00:503 (2,3) - 00:22:832 (1,2) - 00:36:065 (1,2) - I recommend unstacking them, because players have to stay at one place for a long time while the pace of the song doesn't change.. it works for other parts very very well (like 00:30:689 (1,2) - , that's matching nicely with the vocals/pace), but the three I listed up could be changed.
- 00:29:035 (2,3) - how about shortening (2) by 1/2 and adding a circle between them? That would give a lot more emphasis to the vocals which should be focused on, imo.
