My intention with this puzzle was to create an approachable chaos construction puzzle. Even solvers new to this rule should be able to solve it. My gut still told me top put 2 stars on it.
To me, chaos construction is the final boss constraint. Keep fighting and leave a comment if you like it.
Chaos Construction: In every row and column, each digit from 1 to 9 occurs exactly once. In addition, there are 9 continuous regions in which each digit from 1 to 9 occurs exactly once. The shape of these regions have to be determined by the solver.
Killer-Cages: Digits in cages cannot repeat and must sum to the value shown in the upper left corner of the cage.
All cells of a cage belong to the same region.
Circles count the horizontally and vertically visible cells in the same region including itself. Region borders block the view.
Lösungscode: Row 8 left to right.

I love chaos construction on theory but usually find them ridiculously challenging in practice. This is much more approachable without being trivial

I really enjoyed this one, it had the perfect balance of being an approachable Chaos Construction, and not being trivial at the same time.

bigger circles, added a forgotten circle. Thanks to OutOfMyMindBRB and Calvinball. Maybe it is much more approachable now. Sorry for creating trouble.
