I really like the melodies and progressions in this track, great job on that!
First thing to improve would be the drums, because of the big amount of reverb the drums sound distant and not hard hitting, when hard hitting drums would help improve the impact of any drops/choruses in this track. Reverb on the drums would be fine for a beginning section, but having it continue through the whole track is too much. (also any reverb on low-end stuff you most likely want to remove, as it easily causes mixes to be muddy)
Instrumentation could be improved, since it sounds the same throughout the whole thing. It may be a good idea to make the instruments more alive and energetic during a chorus/drop, but tone those effects down a bit in lower-energy areas, giving more variation and again making choruses and different sections more impactful.
The structuring seems a bit messy, with there being a bunch of sections that don't build up together. For different sections, its a good idea to maybe change an instrument, remove or add one, instead of having the same instrumentation throughout the whole thing. It would help give the different sections a different personality and feeling, and would help give the song a stronger structure.
Overall a decent job, would really like to see this track expanded and improved, since I am a fan of the melodies in this one!

I remastered one of my old favorites. thought id spice it up a bit. i hope yall enjoy this as much as i did making it! xD
please let me know what you guys think, criticism is greatly appreciated!
Wow. This is extremely insightful. Thank you for this, a bunch. I’ve always had mixing problems with this track, Ive tried to remaster it, but I still didn’t do the best job. My biggest problem is the muddiness like you stated, I haven’t figure out how to fix it until now. It makes so much sense to cut off on low end reverb. That would seriously help this tracks. Also your right about removing/adding sounds as the song changes. I’ve built one of the melody off of the main melody, but kept the main melody to back it. I realize now it kind of clutters the track, and I should remove it. Also Dynamics: the drop isn’t very punchy because of the consistent tone, and the un crisp sounding drums, like you stated. I like this bit because it would help to improve all my future tracks. Actually all your insight will improve my future work. With all that said, I think I’m going to remaster it one more time, and extend it. I’ll be sure to let you know when I finish, or just look out for it. Thank you for this. I highly appreciate the criticism and kind words friend. xD
(Also sorry for late response lol)
