I recently read all of the Discworld novels in release order (really glad I chose release instead of some other order) and I think the first couple of books are by far my least favorite. Still good books, but they get much better.
I recently read all the discworld novels as well, but I took everyone’s advice about not reading them in release order and I really regretted it. I swapped to release order partway through and it was so much better.
Release order is the way to go. Like, I get why people prefer alternate orders, like by theme etc, but there’s a legit magic to the world building that gets glossed over when jumping around.
Terry Pratchet has been telling us the truth for decades and only now are people starting to listen.
just started color of magic.

Its a good way, if you don’t mind knowing the first handful are going to be not great.
I generally recommend Guards! Guards! as a starting point and if you like that go back and start at the beginning.
I thing Guards! Is really where Terry got into his stride and if you don’t like that you don’t like Discworld.
