Should I read the Mushoku Tensei light novel from the very beginning or from the start of season 3?
I first watched Mushoku Tensei about three years ago and fell in love with it. But I didn’t think of reading the light novel, manga, or the web novel until about a month ago. I found a guy who freely shared a link to his google drive with all the volumes in it so I downloaded it and started reading. Then I stumbled upon a guy who made videos about Mushoku Tensei talking about the things that were cut out of the first and second seasons of the anime, covering the most important things*(a few that I remember is that he explained all of the mechanics of magic in that world and gave a lot of examples of spells of different types and the origins of magic, and talked about the fighting spirit(idk how it’s called in English but this is how I translate it) and its mechanics as well. And he also talked about a few facts about characters that are kinda important).* So far I almost done with the 4th volume the only new stuff I got is Doldia village’s secret magic, Lilia’s backstory, the fact that Gees is a monkey headed demon, and some other minor things.
And now I’m thinking of wether I should be like a “true fan”, reading every volume of the light novel and knowing everything about the title or just start reading from the point where the 3rd season starts(I believe it’s somewhere around volume 13) and learn about the major cut out through some more YouTube videos.
