- Permission, metadata good.
** Sync is very early. Change offset -2.750 -> -2.788. Timestamps given with this change made.

- 84.025: ow
- 84.710: These OHTs feel very arbitrary.

- This file does have some technical issues, but I won't really get into them because those are not the main problem I have with it. The main problem is the difficulty curve. One would generally expect for more intense & more prominent sounds to be more intense & more prominent in the chart, but that is not always the case here. There are many places where this note applies, but I'd like to specifically point out 72.388, where 32nds are used for a subtle background sound and then the heavy percussion and oppressive melody get mostly 8th singles. 92.596 is also far more than the sound deserves.
- Anchoring/jack use is also often an issue--that is, places where there is no repeated sound, yet the chart forms a long anchor on one column. See 43.073-48.045 for a prime example; some of it is justified there, but it gets severely muddied by other notes on the same columns which should be moved. Some of the faster jacks also do not make much technical sense, like the ones from 67.416-68.616.
- Too much of this chart feels arbitrary and unjustified for acceptance, honestly--at times it feels more like a jack playground than a file that seriously tries to follow the music, even considered as a dump. [4/10]

- Offset's fine at the first half, but the second half is incorrect, see below.

Why does this chart make me time traveling back to HSMP days

47.407 - This sound wants to scream a 3-note jack here.
1:03.692 - Technically this isn't a 16th, it's a 24th swing.
*1:07.892 - That's a nasty left one-handed trill on top of doing the jacks on the right hand, geez. Please make them less conspicuous if possible.

**I just can't help the fact that the offset for the second half is way too early, the beat change (170bpm) should be at 1:12.736 instead. Will keep judging this on the old offset.

1:14.104 - There seems to be a missing jump, but you did omit them for the rest of the 4ths every half measure (not at the start of the measure), but this sound feels lound and distinct that you should include.
**1:24.672 - This one-handed trill is so long omg and it doesn't stop on the other hand as well
1:32.515 - Missing 32nd.
1;54.310 - ow

Chart seems to be mostly apt........ but it is getting really spiky towards the outro from the second half that I think it really feels offputting at best. The patterns are generally alright, but the spikes at the end immediately puts me off (goes from like a 80ish dificulty range up to 100+), which is very jarring and uneven.

I do think the chart could be nicely in place if the difficulty progression from the first half is increased to an extent (not like a massive jump from where it is now), but I think that is a substantial buff needed to make this work. The offset at the second half needs to be fixed too. [5.5/10]
