Hey there! Sorry for the late.
Here's my mod... Well, a bit short, but I tried to spot everything I could.
[Normal]
- 00:25:117 (3) - Just a little distance snapping issue. Not a big deal, though.
-00:29:369 (1,2,3) - The pattern (

http://puu.sh/qit3T/4c74d51757.jpg). You're not mapping the same beats at all. It's okay to be a bit inconsistent to avoid making a boring map, but here you're missing some important beats like 00:09:081 (4) - . I suggest you to make a similar pattern in order to integrate it.
- 00:54:881 (1) - err, just some detail, but I don't especially like the shape of this one. You can try to arrange it, here are some good examples :
t/37194- 01:09:054 - Your kiai end is unsnapped. Move it here 01:09:054 - .
- 01:09:054 - Also, since the music is fading, I suggest you to reduce the hitsound volume as well (the end of the spinner especially). Just edit the kiai timing point you just moved.
Simple diff, really good.
[Hard]
- 00:19:947 (3,4,1,2,3) - smells like copy pasta. Well, I suppose it's okay.
- 00:52:046 (1,2) - here and after : Well, it's just my personal opinion, but I don't like the using of this pattern at all :[ I think it doesn't fit with the music at all. See my note below.
- Same remark about the unsnapped kiai and the hitsound volume.
Well... To be honest, I don't like this diff. It really looks like you put certain patterns for the unique goal to increase the star rating, and it doesn't fit very well with the calm music.
Also, you don't respect the distance snapping rule at all, contrary to the Normal diff. Even in Insane/Extra maps, you can find some usage of the distance snapping, which should basically be used everywhere on the map except for jumps, antijumps, some short sections and other irregularities which makes the map original. Anyway, giving up on distance snapping for a Hard diff isn't a good idea, in my personal opinion.
I really love this music, though. Good luck for the rank, please don't give up o/
About the kudos, well, I pressed one time on the "shot a star" button, but the page went blank and all my kudosus are gone now. I asked but it seems I can't recover them, so I'll just let it be, I prefer to throw kudos on a Kan Gao music than anything else anyway haha
