Some picky reviews of some songs by a one-handed keyboard player (played at highest difficulty available):

After Dark:
It seemed some of the arrows were out of place; example: look at the arrows in beat 4.5-5 and 6.5-7. Although they match a pattern, they don't match the music and are awkward.

Festivo:
It was fun for its skill level. No complaints.

Gekidou:
I'm one of the few people that use xmod. so this song is a bit annoying. The first bunch of bpm changes can stay, but the one at 15.5 is hidden within that stream, and the one at 40.5 AND 41 together is just too mean with such a pattern, then the one at 71 seems to be missing an arrow, so it's quite easy to miss the first arrow since the bpm changes when you're aobut to hit it. A good bpm change is 23.5 and the one at 7.5 is somewhat good.

Mamette:
No complaints.

Marisa:
Didn't try because I have enough stepcharts of this song as is... I also skipped Hare Hare for this reason...

Resonance:
At around beat 12 the chart seemed mismatching, and near the end, the jumps at the end of the short streams seem to be an eighth off. Otherwise, fun song and steps.

Stay gold:
I once made a stepchart to this song, so it's interesting to see this. What I gathered was that I concentrated the steps on the vocals too much, and I think you did more than me! I never thought it was that big a deal until I tried a stepchart of a song that I never heard that was heavy on vocal steps, and it's not that fun. From what I know, beats 18 through 25 is a good example of the most concentration you can have on vocals, but after that to beat 32 is a good example of too much. Beat 32 and beyond is good.

Wana:
Pretty fun once you learn the bpm changes! Though, the one at beat 26 is rather sudden... or it's the steps that don't quite follow anything. Then, from there to about beat 40, the chart is not focused on anything. Beat 30-33 is suddenly fun in there, though.

*Asterisk
A bit heavy on the vocals again. Though, it works well at 38.5-39.5 especially, and quite decent for the rest of the song afterwards.

If you're going for a pad pack (based on the difficulty you write), you should take a look into what LK is saying. You may really need to move your legs around to see if you're making workable patterns.
