Kurarin

 I had the good fortune of noticing this was a new puzzle type on the Puzzle Square home page only about a day after the first one was posted there. I really like how Kurarin feels new yet natural. The clue type synergizes nicely with the inherent constraints of a loop. 

These first four puzzles were made on 6/26:

These next four puzzles were made on 6/27, have only gray clues, and are notably more difficult:
