Aw man, I hate going first. Nice BG.
[Normal]
OD 6 is sorta high for a normal diff song. I'd take down to 5 or 5.5 depending on how mean you're feeling to newbie players.
per AImod
00:05:394 - 00:12:894 - This object is too close to the previous object
00:02:113 (4,5) - flow here feels bad. jump from 4-5 is a bit meh
00:05:629 (3) - 00:09:379 (3) - these are weird tick jumps for this difficulty. You can keep them, but I'd stack like...

00:19:223 (5) - Sliders are mostly used for returning to a similar note, or focusing on going up to or down from a note. When the notes are the same, if you hit with two separate singles it has nice emphasis.

00:48:754 - Would end spinner here on beat, also for spinner try to give longer time between last note and starting spinner
[Hard]
NO to AR8. AR7 felt pretty good to play with.
This difficulty feels extremely overmapped. You don't have to be superman and hit all the beats.
Check out AIMOD (control shift A) for the spacing issues. Even if you're going to a new phrase, you don't need a huge spacing jump. It feels weird when playing through the song. i.e. spacing between 00:07:738 (6,1) - feels really far & 00:15:238 (6,1) - is even more crazy. I like that pattern but the distance to 1 is way too far I think.
00:00:941 (3,4) - notes are kinda all over the place, I don't know what you're mapping
This is just an example of a rhythm that focuses primarily on hitting prominent notes in that given phrase instead of kinda everywhere.

Let distance snap do the work for you going from 6 ->1 on a combo. You can play with the snapping within the combo all you want, I really like some of your patterns! I'd suggest you slow the song down to 50% and listen and make sure that the beats your mapping are beats that are hit in the song (not your own beat on top of it)
Best of luck getting ranked!
