Rook

Mochinyoro. The genre that decides that rectangles are unshaded and non-rectangles are shaded. I'm sure that every other genre adheres to this standard

Rules: Shade some cells so that all areas of orthogonally connected unshaded cells are rectangular. The unshaded rectangles must all be connected diagonally. Clues cannot be shaded, and represent the number of cells in the unshaded area they belong to. An unshaded area of cells cannot contain more than one clue. No 2x2 region may be entirely shaded. All areas of orthogonally connected shaded cells must not be rectangular.
