● Normal Sudoku rules apply.
● The digit in the circle sums to the digits in its arrow.
● The digits separated by the white dot are consecutive. (There's no negative constraint.)
● An X between two cells indicate that those cells sum to 10.
● A V between two cells indicate that those cells sum to 5.
● All X's and V's are given.
( This should be very easy with some coloring. )
Solution code: row 6, column 3

Superb construction! I really like the minimalism and the use of the negative constraint. This is really what I'm striving for in my own puzzles, and clearly I'm not there yet haha -- this is great inspiration, awesome work!
~Thank you so much! I do think you are being modest here, but I still appreciate the kind words!! :)

Well done! Very well balanced experience! It was so intriguing that I could not stop thinking about this until I solved it.
~ Thank you so much for the feedback! Comments like this really motivate me to continue creating puzzles! But, may I ask what's so intriguing about it? In any case, I'm happy it was specially puzzling (in some sense) for you! :)))

Rules clarification - There's no negative constraint for the white kropki dots

i'm assuming there is no negative constraint with the white dot
~Yeah, there's not... I'm going to clarify the rules... Thanks!
