Ugly and Half Mad
(Published on 6. August 2024, 12:34 by Abdul the Killer)
Standard irregular sudoku rules apply: fill every row, column, and region with the digits 1-9 so that no number repeats in a row column or region.
SHADING: Except for errors (see below), in the completed grid, cells containing numbers exactly one greater than an immediate neighbour (diagonal or orthogonal) within their box are shaded (and otherwise unshaded).
STARBATTLE: There are exactly two starred cells in each row, column and region. No two starred cells touch, not even diagonally.
All starred cells are shaded incorrectly.
Solution code: Row 5

Perfect puzzle. I'm not very good at irregular sudoku, but still found this one quite approachable.
Thanks for setting!
