Wet Blankets

This is my first sudoku. Any feedback will be appreciated. Hope you enjoy!
Wet Blankets (negative digits) series:
Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. Place the digits 1-9 in every row, column, and 3x3 box.
The values of two digits separated by V sum to 5.
The values of two digits separated by X sum to 10.
If a black kropki dot sits between two digits, one of those digits is double the other.
The digit in the grey circle is odd.
Digits in a killer cage sum to the total given on the top left corner of the cage, if given. Digits may repeat in a cage if allowed by other rules.
Every Killer Cage has exactly one digit that has a negative value (e.g. 2 becomes a -2). The negative value digit may affect constraints. None of the negative digits have the same value, or appear in the same row, column, or 3x3 box.
Lösungscode: Row 8, left to right.

I saw the comments after finishing, and as someone that went blind to the previous issues, I think it is now nicely explained. Very nice puzzle

Improved wording of the rules.

Nice puzzle! My feedback mirrors the previous feedback. I initially assumed the negative values only mattered in the killer cages, but this leads to an impossible puzzle. I think it would be clearer if you introduce the concept of negative values as a standalone idea and then mention that every cage contains one. Simply stating that every killer cage has a negative digit makes it sound like a property of the cages and it is ambiguous whether this killer cage property somehow affects the other constraints (it does!). See "Negators" by mathpesto (id=000AWB) for an alternate way to express this rule.
The puzzle itself was very smooth and enjoyable!

@Chaossudokusplease That's a good point. Added the clarification to the rules. Thank you for the nice comment!

Clarified the rules about XV in the description and in Sudokupad, and updated the Sudokupad link.

A nice fun puzzle with great flow! Very approachable with some interesting logic. My only advice would be to update the rules so it’s clear the XV rule applies to the values of the cells not the digits (i.e. whether the rules are affected by the numbers being negative).
