I don't like trance so will try to mod this map instead. Mod will be mostly general since this isn't finish. Doing this for higher priority on your modding queue. Can't mod taiko.

[General]
- Delete .osb since you don't have a storyboard and full resubmit. Lol, done.
- patchouli knowledge 2.jpg, may be a little low quality, if possible find a higher quality one. Doesn't really bother me if you can't find a better one through
- patchouli knowledge.png, you can save some space by compressing it to jpg. It's only about 1 MB extra, and I'm unsure of the best way of doing this (I'm thinking save as .jpg in MS Paint, but I'm afraid of reducing quality).
- Hard have quite a high star rating. how about 6 hp drain and 6 overall difficulty. Noted, but kept for now since hard might end up as the hardest diff.
- Normal will definite be needed for difficulty spread. Okay, I'll map one
- I feel slider velocity is too low, so suggestion 1.0 is fine for [Easy] 1.2/1.3 for [Normal] 1.5/1.6 for [Hard] and 1.8-2.0 / for [Insane]
- Mapping with 1.1 distant snapping is a little odd, higher slider velocity and 1.0 distant snapping works better i think.
- If you want to use normal hitsound, i recommend even lower volume, 30-40%. Still too loud even at 60% Hitsounds I haven't touched yet, but noted.

[Easy]
Don't really like the sliders at the beginning at all. The end have a stream which is a no for Easy and no kiai time set here. Not much else to say since this isn't finish. Hp drain / ar / od may be better on 3.

[Hard]
01:02:850 (6) 1 grid up looks better imo Eh, that's part of a pattern so it's unchaged
Already feel quite polish and feel pretty interesting for a Hard. I just want a little faster slider velocity and it'd be perfect and hitsound as well. Play around with the volume for different timing section as well, will be boring to have 30% or 40% volume the whole way through the song. Thanks, I'll do that for the volume.

[Insane]
00:02:169 (3,4) Why not just one long slider, even if it's an Insane, no need to put extra notes.
00:13:987 (x) Doesn't look good stacked, but can't really judge since map is not finish.
Not much to say since this isn't finished.

Pretty solid mapping for this type of song. Hard flows quite nicely. Even through i don't normally star WIP map since i will recheck them later, i feel you deserve it so starred!

i wanted to ask for a mod, and i'm choosing to look at this map because i'm a fan of touhou music
it's still WIP, so you can ignore my suggestions

[General]

• patchouli knowledge.png's resolution is 1024 x 764, shouldn't it be 1024 x 768? Right, I'll try to fix it.
  delete .osb K
  Add hitsounds Will do
  the combo colors are inconsistent They're tailored to the backgrounds so...
  is there a reason why you're changing the stack leniency for each diff?Er not really, I'll fix that when everything's done.

[Easy]

• nothing much to say because it's not mapped

[Hard]

• 00:15:578 (1,2,3,4,5) - I wasn't sure if this stream fits the music, i think changing 3,4 to a slider will sound better Deleted 1,2 instead
  00:37:396 (4,5,6) - if you follow the patterns before, these three notes should start at 00:37:055 (3) -... idk, it just felt weird when i was playing Starting it there also feels weird though... I'll try deleting (5) instead.
  01:42:169 (7) - if you're following the rhthym behind(i mean the non-vocal part) this should be a single note, and then slider? follow the previous pattern Na, there's the melody thing there, and I also want to keep the following pattern
  02:08:305 (5,6,7) - same as 00:37:396 (4,5,6) Same as above, deleted the middle note.

[Insane]

• Nothing to say, unfinished

nice song and map, starred~☆
good luck

Hey there akrolsmir!

[General]:

1. Offset 1268. (+8) It's kinda early (even for me). I used 1268 to mod.Good catch

[Hard]:

1. I am also a fan of tickrate 1, but maybe try tickrate 2? Since you have lots of sliders and there is a musical background happening every 1/2, why not. :p Er, it places a lot of ticks where I don't want them, I'll leave it at 1 for now
2. I highly recommend OD6 at most for this diff/map. It's kinda too slow for such high OD, unless you really hate people who SS. (unless you're planning on keeping this as your max diff, OD7 is good in that case, and I really don't recommend OD8 for the insane for this kind of bpm) I might end up with this as the max diff, so I'll keep it for now.
3. 00:30:131 (8,1) - In the background of the music you can hear percussion on which you could place a finish. Placing a finish on both might not sound that good, it does fit though. Placing it only on 8 will mess up with the player's rhythm, and placing it on 1 sounds fine. Try either both finishes or only on 1. Or maybe swap to a soft hitfinish for the 8 and swap back to normal hitfinish for 1. I see you didn't add any hitsounds yet, so I won't tell you where to place them yet. Thanks for the suggestion, I'm not great at hitsounding so I'll probably end up using this.
4. 01:02:858 (6,1) - ^
5. 00:44:904 - Add a note here and start the spinner right after it? (If you reviewed my reply to your mod post, you would know the reason hehe). Also add a finish on it. Okay, tried.
6. 00:46:722 - End the kiai here. After the spinner you will see the next notes and they will be flashing. Doesn't change anything in the gameplay, but it looks nicer atleast. (or even better, if you added the note like I told you, end it at 00:44:904 instead. Kiai in combination with spinners just make me cry ) Did the latter
7. 01:13:086 (9) - Move this slider to 01:12:858 and map a note at 01:13:540? Sounds much better.
8. 01:45:813 (2) - ctrl+r this slider? Plays better. YOu're definitely right
9. 02:15:813 - Add a note and start the spinner after it? Also finish on it. Same reason as stuff above. Ok

[MDuh's Taiko]:

1. Not that it matters too much, some useless timing sections everywhere. You could clean it up a little.

Quite a short mod with some suggestions. When you finish the mapset call me again and I'll go through it again. :3

*I recommend reducing hitsound volume by 10~15% Hitsounds I'll work on later, but I'll keep in mind.
*patchouli knowledge.jpg is x 764, not all too dramatic but I suggest you to fix it I'll try, thanks.
*Add Patchouli to tags? Sure why not.
*Look for another BG for Insane? (You might've already started to look for it since it's still WIP =p ) I might not end up with an Insane at all, but if I do I'll use the same BG.

Hard
*HP Drain -1 please !! Er... why?
*00:59:441 - Silence Spinner-path Lowered the sound somewhat
*01:02:396 (4) - delete circle Nah, I think it belongs.
*01:06:714 (1,2,3,4) - Change this to a jump-pattern? Plays somehow boring, and overlaps.. Eh... I'm trying a change of style here instead of a spinner, I'll change if a few others agree.
*02:01:032 (9) - Change this into 2 circles and make New Combo on the second, delete the following NCNah
*02:11:260 (11) - New Combo, remove the following New Combo and New Combo here 02:13:987 Put NC on 6 instead.
*I'd love it when you changed some linear sliders in curved...they don't look very beautiful (especially the last pattern) I was experimenting with linear sliders, still working on better ones I guess. Thanks for the feedback though

Ah well, tell me if other diffs are finished...
