That shipper that asumed you "hate" a ship is one of many reasons why there is no winning in discussion like that...
I try to wear my taste on my sleeve. I like what I like and I create within that umbrella.
Just because I don't prefer something doesn't make it detestable, but I also wanted to be clear I wouldn't be making CroMa or SoCroMa stuff at any point.
There are a fair amount of other artists/writers who do, and they make lovely work.
I've been having fun doing my own thing and chatting with people about one of my favorite mangas. Fellow fans have been kind. The fact the fandom is still so active is a blessing.

do you know how many geronimo stilton and thea stilton books there are? i’ve been trying to find all of them but i can’t seem to pin down the numbers
Italian or English? That affects the numbers here.
If we're talking about the Italian books then uh gimme a second to die before tallying them up :D /j
But if we're talking English, let's talk brass tacks.
Geronimo Stilton as a franchise has a lot of series, I'm sure that's a given. However, we also need to consider the offshoots under the Geronimo Stilton franchise. Let's exclude the ones that fall under the Thea Stilton franchise, and because of its small size, let's lump Creepella's miniseries in with them.
VERY IMPORTANT HINT: DO NOT USE THE OFFICIAL GERONIMO STILTON WEBSITE FOR YOUR NUMBERS. IT'S OUTDATED AS HELL AND IS ONLY UPDATED UP TO BOOK 59 OF GERONIMO'S MAIN SERIES.
This means that for the Geronimo Stilton franchise, we have the main series, the Special Editions (the gold-bound ones), the Kingdom of Fantasy series (and Imaginaria but I guess Scholastic lumps them together for some reason), the Journeys Through Time, the time travel graphic novels published by Papercutz, Cavemice, Spacemice, Micekings, Heromice, Creepella Von Cacklefur, the Mini Mysteries, the Classic Tales, the anniversary editions, the Reporter Graphic Novels, the new graphic novels, and one or two short books that didn't end up in the other tallies (Strange Case of the Dragon Dance, for example).
As of now, we have 82 books in the main series, 7 special editions (if we're counting A Christmas Tale and A Christmas Catastrophe here), 18 Kingdom of Fantasy books including The Phoenix of Destiny and The Dragon of Fortune, 8 Journeys Through Time, 20 time travel graphic novels, 15 Cavemice books, 12 Spacemice books, 8 Micekings books, 11 Heromice books, 9 Creepella Von Cacklefur books, 6 Mini-Mysteries, 11 Classic Tales, 11 Reporter Graphic Novels (with 2 on their way), 4 books from the new graphic novels, and let's add Strange Case of the Dragon Dance as an extra 1. (Do let me know if there are more short stories similar to this one so I can add them on.)
That makes a whopping 223 books, and we're only talking about the Geronimo Stilton franchise :D
Now, for the Thea Stilton series. This is significantly easier to count, but in kind of a sad way. Thea Stilton as a series is strangely being overlooked by Scholastic for whatever reason, resulting in ONE BOOK BEING PUBLISHED PER YEAR. WE'RE STARVING HERE AND THEY ALREADY DEPRIVE US OF MORE ;;W;;
Anyway, Thea Stilton books. This means the main series, the Mouseford Academy series, the Graphic Novels, the Special Editions, the Books of the Heart/Classic Tales series, and the newly concluded Treasure Seekers series. Very easy to count, right? Hah, WRONG. Unlike the Geronimo Stilton books, which are numbered officially, the Thea Stilton books will have to be counted manually. I mean, the Geronimo Stilton Wiki is starting to catch up and update its info anyway, so I'll be using that (it's also where I got the other numbers, along with some extra research).
OKAY THEA STILTON BOOKS, we currently have 35 in the main series (with The Cave of Stars coming to bookshelves by June if our date is right), 20 Mouseford Academy books (but only 17 of which are available to the general public for some reason), 8 graphic novels, 9 special editions, 3 Classic Tales, and 3 Treasure Seekers books. That totals up to 75 books, excluding the upcoming Cave of Stars and the 3 (4?) Mouseford books whose existences I can only mark for sure with pictures on GoodReads and literally nowhere else :D
If you're asking for only the English books then that's all dandy.
If we're talking about the Italian books, though.... can you give me perhaps a year or two to mentally prepare myself for that? :'D There's so many of them, I swear. Learning the general numbers alone is gonna make you enter a forbidden garden of realizing just how much Scholastic is depriving us of content, and just how well-fed the Italians are by getting regular content of everyone's bespectacled Mickey Mouse but better figure and the five girls who became everyone's lesbian awakening. And the fact that they're getting it so regularly that there was an entire ITALIAN INTERVIEW talking about Elisabetta Dami's ridiculously fast publish rates and asking her how the hell she manages to put out that many books so quickly. Yeah. If you wish to ruin your innocence and begin affectionately envying Italy with all your heart, then feel free to look it up :D
Anyway byeeeeee--
