Tables of a huge database
In general, the more tables in a database, the more normalised it is. 

If your table has many columns, the chances are that some of them will be empty a lot of the time, or repeating types, or other breaches of normalisation, so as you've discovered, normalisation leads to more tables. This is perfectly normal (no pun intended), is nothing to worry about and will lead to easier and more efficient querying
