I'm no expert on Hardstyle, but this seemed real nice! Again, not an expert, but maybe vary it a bit more? The same little theme goes on over and over, so maybe switching that theme out and back in again would be interesting!

hmmm i've never tried that worth a shot though XD

I agree with the Doctor, there. I really like the groove you have, and the melody is really cool -- I like how off-kilter it is.

Aside from switching out the melody a little bit, you can always go for a constant growth effect. If you don't mind me plugging my own stuff, it's what I do in "November" -- it's the same three chords repeated over and over through the whole song, but I constantly build it up higher and higher as the song goes.

It seems like that sort of melody that would sound pretty cool repeated for the whole thing, so you can always instead vary the texture, the drum groove, the instrumentation, and maybe have secondary melodies playing overtop all of it. I dunno, just some food for thought.

All right, as somepony who's familiar with stuff like this, I will say that the intro to this was the weirdest hardstyle intro I've ever heard, and also it doesn't feel as much like hardstyle as it does some sort of strange waltz with a raccoon jumping around in a dumpster.

I'll give you a suggestion here: hardstyle is supposed to use the kick as basically the backbone of the track. However, in your track, the kick seems entirely optional and not exactly fitting with the song. It feels like it's on top of all the synths in the layering of the track rather than the opposite.

Lastly, this track is really really calm and nice-sounding for being hardstyle. Hardstyle usually requires some sort of driving energy behind it. You might want to consider listening to a lot of hardstyle to get a feel for it before you start making stuff.

Here have an example of some good hardstyle

and another, this time more oldschool sound

...and another, for good measure. This one just amuses me.

Keep trying, though! Just make sure not to make sucky unoriginal shit like a lot of the nu-style that's been shat out recently! I don't think that's going to be much of a problem, though, considering you seem to be pretty far out there in terms of production already.
