That’s why you look up the reading order first. When a consensus can’t be reached I read in publication order. But the vast majority of the books I read the prequels should be read before book one.

Most series are not highly serialized for important plot points.
I would also argue that many recent science fiction and fantasy "series" are in reality a story that could have been told well in one long-ish book, but expanded to 5 to make more money.

This is especially true for indie books in KU imo.
