Should I continue working on it? What should I make better?

I think the melody is great! Reminds me of something Avicii would make, that folk house style. I do have a few thoughts on how you could make it better though. First off, try to get a better kick sample or turn the kick you have up. You definitely have it side chained properly, but I just can't tell exactly what the problem is but you want the kick to be the main focal point of mix/track. Deniz Koyu says when your kick sounds like you are bouncing a basketball it is good. Also, compress your bass together or just turn up the sub in general because it seems to be lacking a bit. You could also make the lead sound you have now mono, and then add some other synths that are a little more stereo to the drop the get it a nice full sound. And finally, add some sweeps/white noise/crowd noise during the drop to fill up some of the stereo image so it doesn't sound too dull. All-in-all definitely keep working on it, I honestly think it has a lot of potential! Hope this helps :)

really cool! i agree with Sterling i think you can hear influences of Avicii in there(in a good way). the only thing i could suggest is to maybe open up the high-cut on that main lead during the buildup just a bit more so that you can hear it in front.. but that's just to my taste. drop sounds good i think you should def keeping working on this. maybe even take a break and come back to it in a few days with some fresh ideas!

You definitely need a punchier kick. Other than that, nice track!

Are you making a new thread everytime you update this? Im not attacking you but its just not good netiquette. Anyways yea you should definitely erase any low frequencies that arent necessary so its not all muddy sounding.  Your sounds are drowning eachother out.

Nice idea though

The kick is verrry low in the mix and is barely audible to me, which is kind of a big problem because the kick needs to be fairly upfront in proghouse. I like the melody but the main synth seems kinda.... corny I guess? I dunno it feels too mid rangey to me.
