Have an easy Nurikabe puzzle. Getting this theme to work was tricky, and I think the quality of the puzzle went down as a result. (Note to self in the future.) However, I'm happy with how smoothly it solves, so here it goes.

Puzzle 128 (Numberlink)
Have another Numberlink puzzle. I'm not 100% confident this is unique, but I have reason to believe it is. (Unlike last time, Noq was pretty slow in checking uniqueness for this one, so I couldn't rely on it.)
The way Nikoli pumps out so many Numberlink puzzles is kind of insane. I have no idea how to create ones that have actual artistry to them nor how to prove uniqueness in a reasonable way.
EDIT 10/22/22: Proven unique! Thanks IHNN 😀.

Puzzle 127 ("Pairs", Chained Block)
More Chained Block! This was a weird one to construct -- I kept thinking the puzzle had multiple solutions only for puzz.link's check feature to save the day. Hopefully it's smooth!

Puzzle 126 ("Rectangles", Double Choco)
I've grown really fond Nikoli-styled Double Choco puzzles; they're much less focused on intuition and more on flow, and that has made for a much more enjoyable solving experience. I decided to construct one of my own. This was not easy to do! Took just over a half hour, I think.
Some day I want to construct a puzzle with this flow while also maintaining clue symmetry, but I'm not quite there yet :)

Puzzle 125 (Simple Loop)
A bit of an older construction (I made this about a month ago), but it might as well receive new life on this blog. This was constructed partly as a challenge to not use any fancy deductions like parity bouncing when constructing a simple loop -- it's really easy to abuse those types of deductions given how little freedom you have in constructing. I think I succeeded on this one.
