There is a huge difference between trolling and constructive criticism, and if you really want to get better you need to learn what the difference is.

There's nothing wrong with your levels for someone wanting to learn. Your level resembles what most levels look like from someone who is just learning, so if you keep at it there's nothing stopping you from progressing.

As others have said, try to keep straight lines to a minimal as they look very unnatural. That's not to say have NO straight lines, because in my personal opinion having cliffs/paths that are constantly diagonal end up looking pointy and even more unnatural than straight lines(in my opinion, I never have more than 3 or so portions of straight cliff at once).

Your best bet is to browse the forums and look for some popular levels and try to mimic what's going on. Study them and learn what they're doing right and adapt. Also, don't be afraid to use predefined objects. I'm not saying you just plop down a bunch of predefined objects in a level, but use them because they're more convenient then hunting down every single individual tile in the tileset. For example, many of the predefined cliff objects are tiled correctly, so all you have to do is plop down one instance of a predefined cliff and copy/paste the portions you need from it.
