The plan for the book I am making is 5 leafs of 5 sheets for 100 pages, a protective sheet at both ends... Eventually I will figure out a cover but that isn't really a paper issue though idk how to attach it so it might be paper related.

Soft string, a cardboard cover to prevent tears. Leave the binds themselves a little loose. Japanese hemp stitch is pretty easy on the paper. If your twine is rough, consider painting it with a little starch and water. Dry, crumple, paint again and it'll soften up some. Try not to soak the bits you're stitching if possible.

If you want some cheap prints find the manual for Netstorm, Islands at War. Has some pencil sketches toward the back showing through the paper from the scans you can print them and then soak.

Here's a post >>627082 I made in the other thread about bookbinding that shows what I do for the books I bind. The video it's based off is for a "medieval style" binding so that might go well with the theme you're going for. I've also considered doing the same thing but with a fully leather cover. I just haven't got around to trying it yet. I do like the look of those pages you've done.
There's also a good bit of posts in that thread that might be helpful for you to look at for ideas for the binding.

Thanks I used the less even ones for the test.
Some are very even and really look like parchment.
I used my beater baking sheet, I have a lot for art projects. Any little burnt on contamination will cause the black spots as the evaporating tea lifts it off.
