GLOSSARY OF CHARACTERS & TERMS
Hello everyone! I’ve been slowly consolidating this glossary over the past few weeks, reading back through a good chunk of the novel to make sure I didn’t miss anything (I for sure missed quite a few things), and compiled it into one long-ass document. If I missed anything, I’d really appreciate if you guys let me know so I can add it. Also let me know if you want anything else added to the glossary.
It is conclusive with chapter 519, so if you’re reading this in the future, there’s a chance some things are missing that happen past that chapter. I will try and update it every 50ish chapters (or more frequently if it’s during a major story beat) but will publish new posts for each iteration.
