This allows books such as Monstrous Regiment and series such as Tiffany Aching to entertain us.
BTW, did you mean characters and not charters?

The characters do evolve in the books. Even if you don't have the same main characters, you still have background characters that evolve. You don't want to spoil the background characters just because you think some books are standalone. The reality is that mist books in a seris that are said to standalone really are not.
Discworld is meant to be read in the order written which is also chronological order. After that when you go to read the series again, an order will do.
