been playing for the last two weeks and got to about high 2* with good acc, but having trouble reading anything past 3* using a circle skin atm at 28 scroll speed problem I'm seeing is that the notes are pretty demse and it almost feels like I have to mash through the patterns or maybe
my reading isn't good enough for that level any suggestions would be appreciated (I know playing more helps too xD)

You should build stamina by playing long maps. Push your limits until your hands are completely tired. Don't pause. Ever. Just forget that ESC key exists.

Don't spam. It's pretty common to default to jumptrilling if the pattern is too difficult for you. However, the earlier you start developing that finger independence the better.

Mainly play maps you can pass with 90-96%. Can acc consintently over that? Up the difficulty.
