20250205 Monster Dictionary Update

Monster Dictionary Upate

So, a few people have asked me how the Monster Dictionary that I have been working on for more than 15 years is going.

Well, it is still going.

I have just finished going through the last books in the state’s library system, and, well…

Here’s my page and word count from September 2024:

(If it's too small, 463 pages, 278457 words)
And here is the page and word count from the start of February, 2025:

(If it's too small, 481 pages, 288145 words)

And as for numbers, here is the number of names from September, 2024:
- 6977
And here’s where it stands as of the start of February, 2025:
- 7534

Yes, more than 7500 names and more than 288,000 words (without the index)

Is it finished?
         Is it?
         No idea… but, God, I hope so…


EDIT! After posting this, I found another one! Yep... another 100 words or so and another creature added...
