Please in the future use shorter file names. The music failed to load in AV due to the path name length.

I'm going to be frank, I think the layering in this chart needs a lot of work. Simple errors like 0:00.034 and 0:01.923 exist throughout making it hard to tell whats actually being layered in. In general i think using an additive layering scheme like this isn't working for you, and instead hurts the file in the long run.

I feel like 0:07.120 is a great example of the issue. We see a small uptick in song intensity with a few added instruments and the laying increases significantly to the point where it feels a bit much.

At 0:15.152, we get to the main part of the song, and this is where the layering REALLY falls apart. Your job as the step artist is to try and represent the song with your notes. While this section might technically be accurate to the song (ignoring the layering issues) it fails to really get the FEEL of the song across. Instead we get a section where jumps are thrown seemingly randomly, except if you slow down the section and repeat it like 10 times then you can actually hear what the jumps are going to. This is the problem with additive layering. If you're following 2 or 3 instruments it can be fine, but if you are charting like 7 the whole chart gets so confusing its hard to understand anything. I think the problem with this chart is that you are trying to chart almost everything. Sometimes what you dont chart is just as important as what you do.

0:29.797 Is a real shame. you are charting so many instruments, that the main melody is kind of lost. Instead of focusing on the melodies syncopation, we get near constant 16ths. Even though the song takes the intensity down a bit, the patterns and layering here feel more difficult. where you'd expect the melody to be a focus of difficulty, we instead have minijacks for barely audible notes. They layering chosen, and all of the errors, just fails to make the chart feel like the music.

- Offset's fine.
- I had to ask Tru for getting this file to work since the one in the batch won't load in AV - maybe there's something to do with the filename being too long.

8.419 - Why most of these 16ths are jumps? The layering here is increased tenfold and it's quite a bit to track especially when the layering so far has been simple - this constitutes quite a bit of difficulty spike.
10.309 - .....while this one isn't a jump?

I'm unsure why the difficulty spike starting from 16.215 spikes even more with jumpjacks being introduced - I get it in isolation, but it also feels forced when you are also accounting for the layering that warranted changes from a simple broken 5-note stream with jump every 4th -> into a broken 5-note jumpstream with occasionally jumps every 16th -> into strings of 3-note jumpjacks and a lone minijack into a jump.

28.734 - The left hand bias here is pretty blatant.
32.908 - 48th burst is fine, but that's only if the layering around doesn't produce quite a bit of hand-bias. This 3rd column is packed with this, so transitioning into is.... not fun.
1:00.506 - Having a lone jack on 4th column is pretty silly, but it's not really all that effective to accent as it's a fading out sound.

I don't feel very comfortable with accepting this as is, especially the layering around it is generally unclear and the minijacks around it produces unbalanced hand bias issues that are spread throughout the second half. Another issue that I have with this song is that I think the layering progression in the song has quite a wild variance - going from a simple broken jumpstream and to the end of this song has sporadic jumpjacks and minijacks into jumpstream with jumps every 8th and occasional jumps every 16th. Those things combined made me unable to parse the direction of the chart that it wants to take. [5/10]
