I clicked. But it's tempting to click on the don't click. I didn't though.

Well ... I've gotten feedback from multiple people who successfully ran it solo. Daniel from Dungeon Dive even covered it in a video.
Having said that it's a fairly standard zine, meaning it isn't written with solo play in mind. However, many rooms are filled with random tables, like the "room of many doors" on the second floor, which is a spread filled with random generations. So I can understand why playing it solo shouldn't be an issue.
Lastly, I've gotten something more exciting, since you're looking for solo play. I'm about to launch a Kickstarter for NECROVENGE. A standalone solo game, where you, as a failed necromancer, set out to get revenge on whoever wronged you. Recruit minions, build traps, arrange weird ceremonies, and rebuild your dungeon, while trying to survive attacks from kings, queens, and that lunatic from the neighboring town – Bert. Before at long last getting your well-deserved revenge. I'm super excited about it!

Uh, interesting question. Do you have some preferences yourself?
The obvious ones are the official adventure, Rotblack Sludge. It's a boring answer, but it's so well designed.
Other Johan Nohr stuff that comes to mind is Goblin Grinder but also "Blackpowder Weapons for the Rich and Foolhardy". I love the idea of using the illustration as graphic separation, and as an aid for hierarchy.

Philipp Teach did an adventure called ISBJÖRN which I think is quite fun, simply for the playfulness. Philipp has improved over the years, but the main idea is still conceptually super strong.

Tales and Poetry of Sarkash is a very well designed and different take which I appreciate for the boldness of doing something different.

Christian Eichorn is in general really skilled, unfortunately I only have Purgatory which I really enjoy. He also did a "word"-dungeon, where he used the description of the rooms to space out the map. I found that quite clever.

It's not MÖRK BORG, but I really enjoy the courage of Attack From Space which I've backed for the same reason.
Hope it gives some inspiration, I'll add more if I stumbled across it. I'll also share my Pinterest where I have a MÖRK BORG-board.
Thank you immensely. I don't know how I forgot to add silver values – that's horrible.
And nice catch, I feel like I've already edited that out once. But perhaps I forgot.
I've just sent this past my editor to make sure we iron out some of the things before making a new version sometime this weekend.
Thank you, again. :)
