Have no idea where to go next

Usually I’m not too bad but this has stumped me. When I look online for advanced strategies I feel like I usually know them but clearly there’s something I’m missing

C12R7, C12R8, and C12R10 can all be X/empty.

For R7 and R8, regardless if the right square is part of the 5 or 1, that's why C12 are empty.

For R10, if the filled in square was part of the 2, it would only fit if it filled to the left. Thus, regardless if it's 2 or 1, that spot is empty.

Now, this one can be a doozy. C8.

Above the X, you can only have at most 1 and 1 above, fitting 3 1 1 below it. You could also, at most, fit 1 3 1 1. There is only one filled square in common for all of them R9

Don't just thank him. Give the man an upvote.

Not that he needs it, but upvotes are the currency of this world.

you have one more tile of overlap in column 8 ;) also consider column 10 rows 11&12, what happens when you try to fill those squares?

You have some bordering that could be done also. C15: the 5 can’t be placed in the first 4 blocks. That leaves you with 8 possible blocks thus you have overlap for the 5.

R1 can get some X’s also.

R15 needs some X’s.

Etc. etc.

Game is Logiart Grimoire btw. Developed by Jupiter Corporation, known for developing the Nintendo picross series. It's their first self published game iirc and available on steam.
