Underlayering is rough. There might be a lot of cool sounds that were left out purposefully to lead to as much of a simple layering as I could, keep that in mind.

10.750 - 22.083 - How did you decide which 16ths to include here? Feels inconsistent short of some kind of “loudest sounds” abstraction which doesn’t really explain 17.750 - 18.083. I’m also not a huge fan of some of the colour notes, some like 14.576 / 19.243 would be better off more literal as 16ths, 17.569 doesn’t seem particularly special to warrant highlighting,

Nearly the entire chart has similar issues as this section, particularly with the abstraction choices. Omitted notes often feel arbitrary leading to the chart being extremely hard to follow. It’s difficult to give much feedback on this point – I can’t quite determine your intentions at times.

A chart of this difficulty level could work here, but it would need a better focus on consistency of representation.

20.583: Missing note.

34.250: Missing note.

34.750-35.750: This is a prime example of the representation issues the chart has. Here, straight 16ths are used despite there being a very clear rhythm change at 35.417. It is one of the many noticeable moments where it is quite unclear as to what the chart aims to accentuate and ignore and why.

35.917: Why no white note here? Similar buzz noise as the earlier ones.

38.083-38.750: Why completely empty here??

41.750: See the 16ths at 1:56.417, inconsistent with the layering of the kick/drums.

1:22.000: Why this and not 1:22.667 for example.

1:29.583: This roll seems quite random for how subtle the sound is and how rare such long streaks of the faster 16ths are.

1:47.917: Not sure what this goes to.

Not going into too much details for the specifics like PR and missing/ghosts, as the concerns are more global and structural and the necessary changes would likely affect a decent portion of the chart.

Good effort at creating a varied low difficulty chart for such a dynamic song. Unfortunately, the general structure of it is fairly unintuitive and doesn't quite convey any clear motif for most of the chart. Playability wise it's alright, no major spike although the difficulty increase throughout the second half is not small; the rest of the song (especially outside of the 12ths) is also quite intense, so maybe this is just climax theory but it's not the most justifiable. Overall, this would require non-trivial changes to the structure to make it make sense, as right now it simply feels arbitrarily underlayered (maybe for the bounty, according to the submission description?). It has good potential for a low-mid difficulty chart of such a high intensity song (albeit a decent challenge to do so properly), but it has to be more coherent/consistent first.

Judge Score: 6.00 - Rejected

Pretty disappointing as subjective notes aside, the rest don't warrant a straight rejection but rather an allowance for fixing according to notes as there isn't enough technical errors or lack of structure to rate this low. Don't really feel like dealing with the hassle of the new appeal system though so it is what it is. Thanks for looking at it I guess.
