Finally I made a non-Sudoku again, and it's a large one! It starts relatively simple but gets very tricky later on. Enjoy!
Rules:
Shade some empty cells and then draw a single closed loop (without intersections or crossings) through all remaining empty cells. Shaded cells cannot share an edge with each other. Gray cells cannot be part of the loop. Clues in such cells are either Yajilin clues, Castle Wall clues, or both.
Yajilin: Clues indicate the number of shaded cells in the direction of the arrow.
Castle Wall: Clues indicate the amount of times the loop crosses a cell border in the direction of the arrow.
Solution code: row 6 from left to right, ignoring grey cells. S for shaded cells, L for turns, I for straight segments.

Puh! Ein harter Brocken! Steckte lange fest. Als ich dann endlich die zündende Idee hatte, ging es wieder wunderbar Schritt für Schritt voran. Schweres, aber tolles Rätsel.

Very long. Really smooth first half, crazy challenging middle step, more excellent logic, bizarre ending. Satisfying to discover the magic of the ruleset, and rewarding to see how the adventure path plays out. Easy to break and difficult to visualize in some places. Overall a wonderful experience!

Hat's off to anyone that was able to solve this in a single day. Starts off easy and then gets absolutely diabolical.

Great fun! Not too hard to find what clues to use, but even then a couple steps were tricky. There's one clue that I particularly loved in the bottom :D
