Multiplarrows Sudoku
Inspiration for this type comes from purpl.
Starwarigami has made also a sudoku with this constraint; it is a tough, but very nice one as well. You can find it here.
Solve online in F-Puzzles or CtC-app (thx Nick Smirnov!)
Apply classic sudoku rules.
The sum of the digits on a line between two circles is equal to the multiplication of both digits in the circles. In each calculation, digits may be repeated.

Reply: Thank you so much for the live solve. It was very fun to watch, including all the chatting! You have given yourself a bit of a hard time here and there, because you solved it in a different order than my intended path, but in the end you have taken all the steps to get there in a reasonable time. Well done!

Another lovely puzzle, thanks! Probably about 2.5 difficulty I'd say.

It defies imagination that you are at almost 400 unique sudoku variants. With a new one every week, the only thing more consistent than your release schedule is the superb quality of these puzzles. Outstanding.

Reply: Wow! that is a cool compliment!
But you are right; almost 400 is quite an achievement. I hope to continue for a while, I am curious myself when it will come to an end...

There are plenty of unusual logic in this one (probably because of arithmetic shenanigans), but I found the overall path very satisfying once I successfully unfolded the clues one by one :)

Thanks Playmaker6174!
After having solved purpl's puzzle, I had plenty of ideas of steps for this one, including indeed a few steps containing some unusual logic. I am happy about how it all turned out! :-)
