I loved this one too.
Though I was completely stuck here on my first try.

I pulled through on my second try today when I remembered what the rule means about some specific cells on some specific locations.

Great fun! Initially did the same mistake as obi and spent forever until I re-read the rules. Fun and clear break-in, thanks!
Merry Christmas from Sweden!

I initially misread and thought the adjacency wasn't limited to just the given cell's box. Once I realised my mistake, it all went smoothly! Such a lovely puzzle - thank you!

I spent forever on trying to figure out the break-in before realizing that an unshaded cell can never be exactly one more than a number next to it.
