You put so much work into this, keep it up! Some cool ideas here!

You're stuff is always wild. And, I'm shocked to find out that you've only been doing this for a year.

Honestly, I think you're just on track to be a professional musician 100%. Your ability to pump out high volumes of high quality music, as well as your humility and taking feedback? Crazy. You incorporated microtonals into your stuff so quickly after I showed you what was going on with them, like you just absorbed it musically in an instant, clearly getting an intuition for which notes to push sharp and when, which is crazy.

Amazing work.

Really atmospheric stuff with all the ambience fx and other stuff!

The vibes gave me a kind of a nice blend of Ghost In The Shell and the game Remember Me, good stuff!

Also the production was great, like last time 😉

I have a soft spot for dnb so good job capitalizing on that lol. Jokes aside, really liked the wideness of most of these tracks and how you fill the higher and lower frequencies to the brim. Awesome work!

Another  鯉の国 (koi no kuni) fan checking in!  

Your aptitude for creating diverse, distinct and spacious soundscapes is on full display here.  EQ, levels, stereo imaging is spot on, it feels full, it feels tasty, it feels good to listen to.  Taking so many instruments and blending them together can be difficult but you make it look easy!!!  You're taking a high-energy approach to this theme and pushing motifs into your music more, which creates some memorable moments for me.  I've listened to your tracks several times and the melodies create "ah hah!" points where I get warm fuzzies when my anticipation is rewarded.  These particular snippets stood out to me personally:

~rakusui~ (Menu Theme)  0:10, 1:45 - woman's vocals + bass synth
~koi no kuni~ (Shiakei Overworld Theme) 0:20 onwards - the arpeggiated lead synth
~toi kuni~ (Reaches Overworld Theme) 0:41 onwards - the arpeggiated lead synth
~dokusei no kigen~ (Dokhazo's Combat Theme)  0:44 - distorted vocals of woman singing middle eastern theme
~dokusei no kigen~ (Dokhazo's Combat Theme)  0:55, 1:58 - Dokhazo's motif played by the high arpeggiated lead synth

Maybe I'm drawn to those particular sounds, but regardless, those moments really spoke to me and colored this whole suite.

Great work, can't wait to see what sonic avenues you choose to explore in upcoming jams!

Not really the biggest fan of how a lot of this seems to be made up of existing samples, but you put them all together really well, so nice job.

felt like I was listening to the audio of a game playthrough. if you ever make this a game, I would 100% play it

Nice, ASMR + Sound effects + Foley sounds of the game/scene. Good adherence to a consistent theme with instrumentation but still allowing the songs to venture through other genres. I wish people would pay you to write their audio books, some binaural panning would take this to the next level. Amazing Job. Dropped a fully loaded project on us. Consider this comment a testimonial.  

Let me know if you have a youtube channel!

I do have a youtube channel! I've been thinking of doing audiovisual content for a while, like book reads or creepypasta/horror stuff - happy to hear you'd be interested in that too! :)

It's very well produced! I really liked "Koi no Kuni" it has a very interesting vibe :)
