Amogus, welcome to our WebPBN community. Since I'm not a puzzle creator myself, I'm almost always positive when I comment because I appreciate those who create them for me. So I am trying to be positive now, by way of constructive criticism.

This puzzle wouldn't have been as disappointing if solving hadn't started with a guess because it has an even number of columns. It's fiddly completing the rows and columns that can then be completely filled, while still not knowing whether that first guess was correct. And then the solve ends with multiple solutions, so the solver still doesn't know whether it was the right guess to begin with.

Recommendations: On first principles, solve your own puzzles to ensure that they're actually solvable before you post them. At this point, you've solved only 22 puzzles on the site; spend some time solving more puzzles with an average or higher quality rating to gauge what makes for a successful puzzle. A pretty final image and/or an unusual perspective and/or a clever title and/or word play and/or an informational description -- anything, really, that makes the outcome worth the solving effort -- would be a bonus.

This is super tedious - not really a puzzle.

Anyone else seeing spots?

One look at the numbers and I said "Next!"
