It seemed very easy for me, compared to all the comments. Perhaps I made an incorrect assumption and got lucky.

100% agreement with Chameleon's comment below. Infact I shall go further and say it's very tough. It forces the solvers to scan the entirety all the time. You brink, it breaks. Highly combination puzzle from the start. The kind CTC Mark loves. Hoping he will do us the favour. Look Mark, I even forced myself to spell the English way. In a serious note, congratulations to the setter for a very beautiful work.
