You need to work on bassline but the rest is actually good (as beginner).

You have loads of ideas, all penned down into your tracks.
But I've realized that most of your tracks sounded like radio edits/radio mixes (e.g. Starting of the track like a breakdown build-up into a chorus) instead of original mix (e.g. Kick Bass Intro build up to breakdown and build up again to chorus then breakdown build up to final chorus and Kick bass outro).
They do sound good as single tracks played on radio stations though.
You need to work on creating DJ intros and outros to attract DJ's to pick up your track and slot it into their mixes.
Or if you do DJ, try to test mix your track with other tracks to have a feel as a DJ like whether they're easy to mix in and out.

Ive been producing for a year, but I only have a little time at weekends, so I believe it is not too much. If you add to all this the fact that I have no (good :P) idea about mastering... ahah

I know that, should I follow a partner? like 0-16 the intro, 16-32 breakthrough, and so on?
Thanks for the feedback people :)

I really like your track. To me that sounds like a song I could listen to over and over if it's in my playlist. Good stuff and for a years production you are very very good! I really like the bouncy effect your got working with the bass nice touch there. Followed - great work :)

Probably a good idea for you to improve right now could be doing a collab with someone to gain some knowledge on DJ intro & outro. And maybe having more experience by listening out for other established hardcore artists tracks to get an idea of what i meant.
An intro with kicks and snares then build up with bassline, outro in the opposite way:

An idea something like this that sounds basic but you got to know that simplicity in the intro & outro is the way to go for mix transitions between tracks. You need not make the intro or outro too complex because this will cause the DJ to trainwreck his mix due to the incoming track or outgoing track's buildup clutter the mix.

Decent headphones will do you. 20 Sennheisers are adequate true-sound Headphones for production
And ditch Fruity Limiter

I've heard this track you just posted, and the musical idea is actually fantastic! I really like that riff!
Altrough... You should get grips with the mixing, and maybe make the breakdown a bit more richer by adding other sound effects and maybe breakbeat drums. Bassline on this track should also be beefed up by boosting of a little the frequencies under 140 hz.
Also, if I can give you a tip, please don't use any limiter on the master channel during mixing, keep your master channel free when you're mixing up the track. Actually the Fruity Limiter plugin you put on the master channel is killing the dynamics of this mixdown.
Another good tip is to compare your tracks with other quality tracks of the same genre.
I personally recommend you to listen to some Hardcore Underground stuff.

Musically this is a strong track, lead synth sounds really good too! Definitely keep working on it. :)
What DAW are you using? I'd certainly be willing to help you with the intro/outro.
Edit: Bit more detailed feedback:
Love the movement on those pads at the start, great sound that! The intro's all pretty good. Balance between kick and lead on the drop is just right imo but I had real trouble picking out the bass individually which means it's probably not balanced right. I'd try getting rid of or turning down the riser at the end of the second phrase of the drop because it starts to get a bit overcrowded at that point. The section after the drop is really nice for what it is! Good job sir.
As other people have already said, it's a strong enough track creatively and technically, most of the work that remains is in the mixdown specifically. I'm not good enough at mixing myself yet to feel comfortable giving other people mixing advice so I'll leave that to the more knowledgeable!

No sir, that's quality work right there!
Though, personally, that intstrument that pops in around 11 seconds sounds a lot like a Guitar Pro guitar sound. That's just me, though. Everything else sounds top. I'd like to take a bit of advice from ya, actually, if you don't mind. :D
