not the first path that I have tried
although it was not intended by the author I didn't recognize these characters and I looked it up I was stuck on the right side of the level for quite a while.
421 is what I can do best at the moment, I think there's more. should consider trim the lower row? interesting, not sure if optimized or not I was 4 off most of the time before solve. The way to cut 4 more is not intuitive to me.
