DEDICATED GLOSSARY

I realised that adding explanations of certain slang in a particular chapter is not very effective, especially in webnovel format with hundreds, even thousands of chapters. So I decided to add a dedicated glossary to ensure readers who forgot what certain slang means don't need to look all the way back for the chapter that provides the meaning.

For now, the glossary will contain mostly Scottish/Gaelic terms. As usual, don't be shy to reach me out if I ever overlook some terms!
