- 0:12.219 This is a significantly long intro. 12 seconds before the first note, as well as another 11 with almost no notes. effectively 24 seconds until the chart actually starts.

- 0:36.219 do these notes even go to anything? they feel arbitrarily placed just to fill space in the chart.

- It feels arbitrary what does and doesn't get fewer notes. A section like 0:36.219 gets fewer notes when the kicks drop out but when the same thing happens at 0:50.619 the stream continues.

- 1:27.579 this is the one break where the notes feel like they were intentionally placed to the music.

- 1:32.619 This note has quite a strong off beat and is part of the melody you were following. it seems strange not to chart it, and if one note needs to be ignored i would rather it be 1:32.859

The majority of this chart is just a randomly patterned 4th stream. There was maybe 1 section that seemed to have intentional patterning. While this isn't "wrong" the chart fails to go beyond and do anything particularly interesting with the chart. Its this in combination of the break sections that just dont seem to be following the music

PERMS OK
SYNC OK

23.739-54.459: During this section, there are minor things that could be worth looking into:

- First is the repetition of the starting note on column 4. The notes at 23.739, 27.579 and 31.419 match that starting anchor, but 35.259 doesn't. Same applies to 50.619 (4th repetition, not on column 4). Later on, the notes at 1:48.219 and 2:03.579 could also be on col 4.

- Second is a potentially missed opportunity to mix things up slightly by using a minijack on the bass notes such like 34.299 & 34.779, 49.659 & 50.139,

50.619-54.459: There's not really much of an intensity change in the song for this part to not be the same density as 35.259-39.099. Using that lower density here too, you could then maybe add an 8th on 54.219 to have an actual transition into the slow piano part.

1:09.819: Would suggest changing to 31 instead of 13, to match the PR (right to left) of 1:13.658 and 1:17.499.

Pretty fun low level chart. Most of the notes above are suggestions and could be approached differently, although there is a slight lack of theme/consistency that could be polished.

Applied a few feedback notes, added more notes to the intro, made a few notable changes to structure in a few sections to match up feedback, and buffed up the volume of the song as it was fairly quiet. Let me know if this is better now.

Good stuff Deam, lgtm. Here's some things you might wanna consider checking still:

34.338: Would still suggest making this and the next 4th (and also in all other occurrences of this clear bass on the same note) be on the same column. It would add a lot to the relatively arbitrary patterning (even despite the motifs you use to make those consistent)

52.578: Missing 4th, see 37.218.

The missing note was intentional but looking at it again I think you're right on having it back

A new chart file was uploaded with the following changes:
----------
Note Count changed: 208 => 209
AVG NPS changed: 1.5253 => 1.53263
Hand Bias changed: 0 => 1

Also I will admit that I don't really understand what you want me to do with the former note.

Moving this to DC as fixes were applied and notes have been acknowledged.
