Painting black rectangles again

This Nuribou puzzle is large but easy, with the possible exception of its very first step. It is also the blog's first puzzle constructed while I was standing up.

The Seventh Nuribou

Unlucky Nuribou

Nuribous aren't all that common. Rarity of a puzzle type trips up difficulty rating. What the constructor considers a trite pattern is more often a journey of discovery for the solver.

Easy Nuribou

Rules.

Blowing off steam Nuribou

This Nuribou was written when I couldn't for the life of me get a much cleverer puzzle of the same type to work properly. Probably of average difficulty, although one edge may give you trouble. (Rules)

Sleepy no more Nuribou

Medium+ difficulty. (Rules)

Hard Nuribou

Nuribou (ぬりぼう) is another rare Nikoli type. The rules are:
Paint some empty cells black so that they form strips of width 1. These strips do not share sides. If they share corners, then they must be of different lengths. All remaining white regions contain exactly one clue. Clues give the area of the containing region.

This really shouldn't be your first Nuribou, so of course it's the blog's first.
EDIT 1/6/19 : It has been reported that a 2-long strip in the lower left quadrant may be placed in two ways. This does not effect the remainder of the solution.
