First, three normal LITS puzzles: #236 https://puzz.link/p?lits/10/10/2438jaiqnqrdkkn2h2ugv65gaqnc40dlbulq #9 https://puzz.link/p?lits/16/10/2ha8h5ihlvp0cqabplkpk5hrshs2h9605706164q47662legj8c2lo0l81c #136 https://puzz.link/p?lits/14/9/a10mibjvk7uvvv7utsql4ai05cgr58rk0501404s8q5u070 The next pair of puzzles have the same grid. The second one is an Islands (Shimaguni), and includes extra numbers. #66 https://puzz.link/p?lits/8/8/92lekkl5kl006hbajm76d1pg #65 https://puzz.link/p?shimaguni/8/8/92lekkl5kl006hbajm76d1pg4g53j57 The next two puzzles look identical! The second one is a (1-star) star battle. #167 https://puzz.link/p?lits/8/8/124k8e144340vg7n5v31c470 #166 https://puzz.link/p?starbattle/8/8/1/124k8e144340vg7n5v31c470

Here are some barns. #83 https://puzz.link/p?barns/11/10/004522h180000542i19e00208000400000gg000000000g4800108400008000 #178 https://puzz.link/p?barns/11/11/0040281808g0001ig81k0i00000001212008i8g0g8g0000800f00000f00e00000q200 #28 (thinking)  https://puzz.link/p?barns/12/13/000003o3vgvsevjvcrv43g0c0e0v0000210000000000000100i0g0800000g00408001o000070g0302441g5g800 #126 (put your parity cap on!) https://puzz.link/p?barns/7/9/000a508ah800000010000000000000000g00

I made a snowflake and christmas tree! #259 https://puzz.link/p?slither/10/11/cg2dgb72ch1d2b33230c112b1b2dj3cj2d3d332b22221a1d1ch17dbg2cgc #260  https://git.io/Jy3pM (Additional rules: The green region has 6 stars. The pink cell is empty.)

 Five golden rings! #70 https://puzz.link/p?ringring/10/10/e3f6b2d8 #32 https://puzz.link/p?ringring/10/10/2087085pr006 #118 https://puzz.link/p?ringring/10/10/35h32k496l #219 https://puzz.link/p?ringring/10/11/33c8u70u3002 #165 https://puzz.link/p?ringring/8/8/5003c220606043 Bonus: The previous puzzle can also be solved as a simple loop! #164 https://puzz.link/p?simpleloop/8/8/0s8014o30c480

Before posting the simple loops, I would like to give an introduction to parity, which will be useful for tougher puzzles. If we consider the grid as a checkerboard, any loop segment will alternate between gray and white cells. Here are the simple loop puzzles as promised. Most won't require parity deductions. #227 https://puzz.link/p?simpleloop/9/8/0030h20g3486000 #13 https://puzz.link/p?simpleloop/8/8/240g00200gs00 #63 https://puzz.link/p?simpleloop/13/12/10h0002oc0002000g8c00000g5002100 #120 https://puzz.link/p?simpleloop/21/10/g0g03o80004kggf08000o20203iph0g4a0220109g3 #257 https://puzz.link/p?simpleloop/12/12/1g004g04000000002g000002000h0

This Nurikabe is 10x100, and much harder than anything else posted on this blog so far! Good luck, and remember to drink water! #100 https://puzz.link/p?nurikabe/10/100/i5h5i4i-8cr5g4z5z7g4t2zj3g5zi5s6u55u6u5zk5j5zk6zu6h6z7m6u6s6u6zzx7l4k7j7w6zt6x7zs7k6s7zj8zp8zn7u4zn4i6zr7h5zn6i6zs7w6u6h5g6zi5h4zl5zn5j4s3r3z4g1o I'm not sure why I even bothered putting an image here.

These Nurikabes are all 10x10, but they are still of varying difficulty. #17 https://puzz.link/p?nurikabe/10/10/g-14r3v4j5v6j1v2zj #52 https://puzz.link/p?nurikabe/10/10/t3r3k5h5k3l5k3k5s3n3t5 #99 https://puzz.link/p?nurikabe/10/10/agagagagazzzzi2m #190 https://puzz.link/p?nurikabe/10/10/s3r3q3i3q3h3p3g3h3q3i3i3l #254 https://puzz.link/p?nurikabe/10/10/o1x1g1g1qbpbl1gbj1x1m1i
