Bit of a warning, this genre is in my opinion a bit beginner unfriendly, and this puzzle is certainly one of the hardest I have seen. I have built an example puzzle, which I recommend solving first if you're not familiar with the genre. I think the main puzzle is a good example of how funky and surprising the genre can be and I hope you enjoy!
Rules:
-
Draw lines connecting all clues to form a loop which travels through each clue once. Lines only travel straight from clue to clue (allowing non-orthogonal lines). Two line segments may intersect each other only at a 90° angle. All clues containing the same letter must be connected consecutively. Clues containing different letters may not be directly connected; the loop must travel through at least one black dot between them.
For a visual explanation of the rules open one of the puzzles and go to help -> rules.
Example
Enjoy!
Solution code: The number of lines crossing 8th horizontal gridline, followed by the number of lines crossing the 14th horizontal gridline (these gridlines are indicated by arrows in the image above). Number of crossing lines includes crossings on the edge of the grid.

I don't know why I thought it was a good idea to try this puzzle. I don't know what possessed you to set this. I especially don't know why I had so much fun solving it. Bravo

That was a baptism by kouchoku fire for me. Not entirely sure how I got through it, but glad I did!

First of all, you're crazy ;-).
However, it's actually a very nice puzzle with sound logic throughout, even though my mind got a bit lost at times.
