Since the Crusader Codex hasn't been updated in awhile for sets I had an idea from a user on the official Discord and decided to expand on my idea.

If we integrate Monster Book into Monster Collection we'll need 2 new tabs. Sets, and familiars. On the sides of the tabs there'll be arrows to swap to all 5 tabs.

However for the view all, they'll require adding more monsters to the "View All" so no one loses collections. This will allow easier integration for sets without much tampering. This is also done so now sets can be collected by killing monsters, and not dependent on a Codex Card.
Here is what it currently looks like in Crusader Codex:

Here is what it'll look like in Monster Collection:

We can also add the feature to double click on the collected monster (in person or via collection window) to view it's stats like how we did in Crusader Codex. This will allow more monsters to be obtainable via Monster Collection methods which are much easier to maintain while retaining some functionality of Crusader Codex.

Making set effects will also be easier by just grouping the mobs like they already do for collection.

Familiars will be kept simplified:

The only issue would be transferring over data and re-working the UI. But otherwise afterwards it'll be easy to maintain.

    The problem with this is that any iteration of a monster can register that particular mob (for example, Mirror World or Monster Park versions); plus, it would make each one more confusing, especially with mobs that may have duplicate names, and for other mobs that aren't included in the collection.
