-[00:34.109 & 00:35.799] Compare to what you've done at 00:27.348 & 00:29.038 respectively, PR-wise. You got it back down at 00:37.278, but the PR here isn't consistent across this pattern. I don't care much for PR on the background stuff, but the foreground stuff is pretty important.

**-[00:49.954] Find a different jump for this one so as to not emphasis the 4th anchor in down column prior to it.

-[00:52.489] Right column is getting left out. Would move single to right column imo.

**-[00:57.348] Missing 8th.

**-[01:06.221] Move 8th here down to the 16th at 01:06.327, and then the following 12th at 01:06.573 should be an 8th at 01:06.644.

-[01:10.235] Hand's are a little bit heavy with what you've been layering so far. Personally, I would suggest either dialing back the two hands in the chart into jumps, or buff up some of the potential jumps that are singles throughout the file, such-as 01:11.080, 01:14.461 or 01:15.306. And then at that point, I feel like it's gonna get kinda messy / to the point of overhauling.

-[01:20.376] This is essentially a mute 4th. With respect to the 12th layering at the beginning of the file, I'd use the 12th at 01:20.517 instead. Makes sense with structure as well, given we're entering a 12th-heavy section.

**-[01:41.714] Again, similar call-out with respect to timestamp 00:34.109 / 00:35.799. I don't mind if the notes are sharing the same column or not, just that the pattern should be relatively the same or portrayed in the same light across the file.

-[01:48.264] There's enough time between the last note and the ending of the song, but small nitpick; Unless the song itself specifically cuts off like this, we shouldn't be having hard cuts to silence. And even then, if the song depicts that, a 'fade-out' in Audacity is probably warranted.

-Song needs a heavy general clean-up, from PR to missing notes, to hand/jump usage. I'm kind of erring on the side of Reject on this one, but going easy on this specifically since it's an easy song and fixes can be made relatively easy. Although, if this much were to be written out for a harder file, and affected the same amount of patterns/layering involved in the chart as a whole, it would be a reject for me.

-Overall, FR flag for missing notes / off-sync notes (which have a much larger impact on easier files), and to address the PR issue prevalent throughout the file on timestamps 00:34.109, 01:41.704, etc. at a minimum.

[6/10]

Permission: good (Monstercat)
Metadata: good
Sync: good

- start - 12.771: These notes to the chords don't feel very accurate, it's hard to tell when the sound actually starts, but I think it's either a 12th earlier or between the first 12th of the beats and the 8ths. Either way the sound doesn't peak on the 12ths and it doesn't start on the second 12ths.
- 13.510: Why omit this note?
- 14.587 - 27.137: Alot of notes to the hi-hat are omitted when they are very much part of the rhythm, I don't feel it's very logical to do so.
- 27.137 - 40.658: Same issue here except for the synth.
- 40.658 - 52.489: This section makes sense with the single notes for the kick and the jumps for the snare.
- 52.912 - 53.757: This entire drum fill is empty for some reason.
- 55.025 - 81.222: Not entirely sure what constitutes a jump here.
- 75.658: These jacks are really confusing, you're stepping the growls, but pattern wise it seems like you're focusing on the higher pitch repeating melody while omitting a note.
- 75.723: This is a growl and 76.468 is more of a wobble, yet they are pretty much the same pattern.
- 108.264: Song just abruptly ends.

I'm not a huge fan of charts being easy purely for the sake of being easy. This song has super interesting rhythms, interesting opportunities for poly's and the intensity allows for interesting dynamics as well. Yet the chart is underwhelming in terms of intensity, it feels like an incomplete chart in its current state. I understand you approached this with the idea of making a beginner chart, but in doing so you kinda failed to capture the music in my opinion.
