I try to avoid givens in a Skyscrapers puzzle at all cost; I take it that the 5 in R8C4 is necessary to ensure the uniqueness of the solution.
That said, this was was a great puzzle by Qiu Yanzhe (whose name I still cannot pronounce - I hope he forgives me) with some solving steps I found exceptionally nice.
I really liked the flow of it, and how the clues interacted even at a late stage, miraculously allowing logical steps until the very end, without any guessing.
