Here's my best guess at how all of this works based upon how the data is laid out. Please do correct me if there are errors! I have not played this in-game. I do not confirm any of the following to be 100% true or accurate.
There was one thing that really surprised me about all of this. Scattered throughout the WZ files, sometimes there's documentation left by the kind folks who created each piece of content (in the way of "info/" blocks). What surprised me about this was that some of the info blocks were written in Korean and the others were written in Japanese. This leads me to believe that the Koreans began coding the information and the Japanese finished what the Koreans started.
You are given a Monster Book, and you receive a certain number of points for your monster book as you collect more cards (the data makes no note of which mobs give how many points). Once you attain a certain number of points, your Monster Book levels up:
Points
All Stat
0
+1
10
+2
100
+3
300
+4
600
+5
1000
+6
2000
+7
4000
+8
7000
+9
10000
+10
It would also appear that as you gain more points, you level up a medal as well.

IF YOU READ NOTHING ELSE, AT LEAST READ THIS SECTION SO YOU WON'T BE CONFUSED WHEN YOU LOOK AT MONSTER BOOK SETS:
There are different sets of cards that you can collect. Collecting a whole set of cards grants you a special reward. The most noticeable reward is additional exp, which ranges from 65 EXP for the lowest set to 3.8m EXP for the highest set. Also, the more difficult of a set that you complete the better stats you gain on an item. The Monster Book data says which kind of potential stat you can receive. The level of your Monster Book determines the power of the potential stat.
Just a guess here, but let me give an example:
One of the higher sets, called 降魔の十字旅団, gives two potential stats. One potential stat is +All Stat%, and the other is Ignore Enemy Defense. The level of the potential stat is determined by the level of your Monster Book. So if your Monster Book is level 10, you will receive "Ignore 15% Target DEF" and "All Stat +3%". Given that these bonuses work just like potential bonuses, I would assume that they stack as potential bonuses stack.
The final bonus you get from a set is a "set score". I assume this adds to the total number of points for your Monster Book. There's a huge reward for collecting everything from one set, but it doesn't appear to be very easy to collect a few of the sets.

If I get it right you are proposing a different way to express extractions. Fiel doesn't read all that he posts so he can't just edit it like that, he simply posts what his parser-thingy throws up, more or less.
I can put in anything that the data easily provides. So I could include the numbers there for each set (Set #1, Set #2, Set #3). But as for doing things like (level * (HP+5)), no can do.
To Fiel:
I realize the data isn't laid out this way. I mainly started this just to see if I could condense it and still keep it readable. It started out easily enough with numbering the sets and joining the dual tables then kinda snowballed... posted here simply because I needed somewhere to put it.
To everyone else:
More changes incoming... hoping to get the card strings out of Japanese, assuming they link to an ID anywhere (doubtful). Of course watch them change everything next patch, making them more useless than currently.
