Standard Sudoku rules apply.
Cells containing numbers exactly one greater than an immediate neighbour (diagonal or orthogonal) within their box are shaded (and otherwise unshaded).
Cells with circles contain odd numbers.
Solution code: Row 1

Something about this puzzle just absolutely bakes my brain. I've been at it for weeks and I just can't stop making unforced errors.
---I truly didn't intend this puzzle to be that difficult (mea culpa).
I'm glad you're sticking with it. If you feel you ever have to give up, email me what progress you are certain of and I'll happily give you the most minimal of hints to push you on.
Good luck! ---ATK

This puzzle includes some very hard deductions in the early to mid solve, but then flows pretty quick.
It isn't always exactly clear where to look for the next clue, I had to hunt quite a bit for them.
What amazes me is that this grid solves without any given digits or additional rules. Or all the odds given like in "Trypophobia".
---With only 12 solves after an entire week I have to conclude that this puzzle is harder than I imagined. It is true, some of the clues sneakily hide themselves away.
Thanks for the solve and the comment. ---ATK
