The offset sounds really bad for me and Nikku who looked at this map together. We both agreed at a number around 213. We checked this number against Stable and Digital Client.

This map utilizes Perfect Curve Sliders, you can use my Client to convert these to Bezier which is compatible with way more clients Forum Image. You can select all the sliders and do CONTROL + SHIFT + C.

The first object is placed before 1500ms into the mp3, meaning we need to add manual lead in time to accommodate clients that do not have automatic lead in time. Please at 1300ms of manual lead in time. You can do this from the Song Setup panel's Audio section in my modded client, or you can do it manually be opening the .osu file in a text editor and changing AudioLeadIn: 0 to 1300.

There are a view unsnapped sliders on this map:
02:16:018 - Slider tail unsnapped by 8.343 ms.
02:17:421 - Slider tail unsnapped by -3.486 ms.
04:37:576 - Slider tail unsnapped by 3.336 ms.

Your mp3 file uses too high of a bitrate, please lower it to 192kbps, or switch to using an ogg file up to 208kbps.

Please add some tags for language and genre. English, Rock/Pop. And any other tags that would be relevant, such as an album name or such.

Overall the map looks good, I think the hitsounds are too loud across the board. I would lower them by 20%. I feel like you are trying to hitsound at a volume that makes sense for the vocals, despite the fact that your hitsounds are more focused on following the instrumentals. The instrumentals are so quiet, so it ends up feeling like a volume mismatch.

I think thats probably my biggest complaint with the map, you focus on the instrumentals that are so quiet. It's not a wrong choice per se, just a difference in how I would represent the music, but I think it can work. I really like the patterning and what you are trying to represent and how, it's just confusing cuz those sounds are so quiet lol.

I feel like this BG is really boring. I'm not saying it's gotta be an anime girl, but how about something a little more visually interesting? Here are some random images I found when looking up this artist, obviously feel free to go find your own too, but maybe this can inspire a BG change xd

00:01:883 - 00:02:001 - currently feels empty without notes here

00:26:639 (1) - the sliderend being a powerful sound and mapped passively doesnt really fit, I suggest shortening it and having 00:27:111 be a circle instead

00:41:493-00:43:380 - what's shown in the image fits the song better for what's going on in the audio, as it is right now very quiet audio is mapped active when it would better fit being passive (i.e sliderend)

00:58:469-01:00:473 - ^
03:12:391-03:14:277 - ^

02:03:072-02:05:666 - not the same rhythming but the same idea as ^

02:14:154 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11) - the vocal is more powerful than the instrumental here, personally would follow that instead
02:16:511 (3,4,5,6,7) - example of something you did that works

03:46:107 (1) - what you did at 03:29:602 would work better than a spinner for this
04:03:554 (1) - ^

04:30:410 (6) - should be NC'd

04:45:051 - onwards feels far too spaced for a trailing off section of the song, lower SV would most likely solve this. lowering to 1x? maybe even 0.75x but up to you



overall good map
