A Trek into the Woods

After a few years of solving sudokus, I decided to try making my own. Here is my first in what is hopefully a long journey of setting! Feedback is greatly appreciated.
--- Rules ---
Normal Sudoku Rules: Place the digits 1-9 into the grid such that no digit repeats in any row, column, or 3x3 outlined region.
Lösungscode: Box 5 (The middle 3x3 region, written from left to right, then top to bottom)

As someone who loves solving sudoku puzzles but has no clue about setting, I'm always happy when new setters enter the stage.
Don't get discouraged by the ratings, classic sudokus tend to get a lower rating than variant puzzles which I often don't understand.
Though as zegres mentioned, this one might be a little too easy, maybe try to incorporate some more advanced logical steps (e.g. pointing pairs, X- or Y-wings, nothing too fancy) into your next puzzle to make it a little more interesting/engaging.
Hoping to hear from you again in the future, please keep sharing your creations. :)

Hey Taxi, I always get upset when I get a poor rating with no comment or explanation. (like from the person who solved this just before me).
The reason that I gave this puzzle a bad score, is that it can be entirely solved with naked singles. That is not particularly interesting or fun, more of a chore. It is also not particularly pretty or orderly and there is no path to speak of.
I recommend, if you want to stick with classic sudoku, you put some more techniques and geometry tricks into your puzzle. For excellent advice on hot to design fun to solve puzzles I recommend watching setter videos on CTC.
Good luck with your setting! Don't get discouraged.
