The was a point when 2 of the upper boxes resolved mid solve when I did a double take. Bravo!

Antiknight puzzles come in two variants: Annoying or interesting. Thank dog this one falls into the latter category!
Everybody is rightfully praising the break-in, but also the other arrows deserve some love for how well they were chosen.

Fascinating! I think it is slightly harder than 2* due to the tricky part in the middle solve.

Great fun. I always like puzzles that feel very themed, without being one trick. Break in was nice too.

Wonderful break in logic! Many spots in the mid-late solve that were also very nice with the non-break-in arrows.

Ich möchte den break-in auch loben — soweit ich sehen kann, eine ganz neue Idee. Staune immer wieder, wie einem so etwas einfallen kann!

Easy but very satisfying break-in! Then the rest of the puzzle gave just the right amount of challenge to be fun. Anti-knight can sometimes be tedious to complete, but this was always interesting!

Quite easy for experienced solvers, but the break-in is absolutely lovely. One of these puzzles to show to someone willing to start with variant sudoku, great flow

One of the best puzzles I've done in a while, I am usually not the biggest fan of arrow sudokus, but this is one is absolutely beautiful!

Thank you for this lovely anti-knight puzzle, Florian Wortmann! It looked intimidating at first, but turned out to be more approachable than expected. Great flow all throughout!
