I managed to break this puzzle the same way 3 separate times, truly a master of solving
This puzzle unlike my solving skills is actually masterful though

Very nice and smooth one! I broke and restarted it twice, but only for a very silly reason for which I can only blame myself.

Broke it many times toward region completion...

Exceptional and masterful puzzle for such a simple looking ruleset. The bits at 3 bottom rows hurt my brain a lot but it's unfolded in a magical way and really, I enjoyed how everything works in the first half of the solve ;)

Great puzzle as always! Very enjoyable and challenging but never frustrating.

Another masterpiece with a very simple ruleset and powerful logic throughout the puzzle. Loved how it all started right in the middle of the puzzle (at least in my solution path), rather than in a corner or along an edge like in most chaos construction. Very enjoyable !

WOW WOW WOW!
Definitely took me a while to wrap my head around everything but I absolutely loved it. Thanks so much KNT! I hope Simon gets this one just so you can get all the due praise!

Very nice - especially the break-in, but only 3⅔ stars for me (without investigating the example puzzle) - perhaps because I've spent quite a bit of time setting Riverbank Sentinels which have similar logic:

A very daring solution code there, KNT. Gives the entire secrets of the puzzle away! :P

Even the example puzzle was a 5/5 in terms of entertainment. Looking forward to attempting the real one!

Wonderful puzzle!

Absolute gem of a puzzle, though, could we really expect anything else from KNT. I'm so fond of these puzzles that are a continuous string of reasonably challenging deductions and rewards, keeps you engaged throughout.
I agree that it's not a monstrous 5 star, so should be attemptable for most, if not all.
Thanks so much, KNT!

Wow.

Awesome, thanks! A challenging puzzle, but I never got stuck, so it was a lot of fun. The 6x6 felt quite straightforward to me, but it is definitely helpful to get used to the ruleset.

Great puzzle! It has many beautiful deductions along the way. The 6x6 example was fun too :-)

Had a lot of fun testing this, thanks KNT! :)
