Except 3 and 44, I used every rule thereby forgetting the sudoku rules, good one to solve.

Way too many redundant clues, as other solvers have alteady been pointing out. So I'm sorry to say I personally I did not particularly like this puzzle, though I can see why others might enjoy it.

Didn't use: palindrome, odd/even, between line, sum sandwich, killer cage, 44 little killer line.
So the title is correct: this puzzle is junk :(

There were way too many clues that didn't need to be used. None of the little killers needed. The cage is not needed. Several of the kropkis. The inbetween was only needed for me for the edge cases. With that many clues that was not needed, it didn't feel like a logic path through the puzzle. Personally I would prefer a beginners puzzle where the beginners also learn to focus on the path through.

I didn't use all little killers, only the 7. But it was a very fun quick puzzle, thank you for this one! :)

I didn't use the sandwich, all three little killer, the killer cage and the thermo in box 4.
But for beginners the puzzle is very suited.
Nice puzzle and fun to solve

Didn't need the 44 or 18 diagonal, nor the 17 killer cage. But considering it's intended to be a 1-star puzzle, maybe a different solve path would use those clues. Nice puzzle none-the-less. Thank you.

I totally forgot about the sandwich and little killer clues.
