Community Consensus

Low Debate

"The 'Edens' list refers to a large, diverse book sale (containing up to 400 titles), primarily focusing on Progression Fantasy, LitRPG, and self-published works. There is no single consensus starting point, but rather several highly recommended entry books based on subgenre preference. The strongest recommendations lean toward series that are either genre-defining or are complete and highly bingeable."

Key Reddit Advice

For newcomers overwhelmed by the list, start with a highly recommended entry point based on preferred genre: * **For Progression/System Apocalypse:** 'System Apocalypse' by Tao Wong (called the defining series for the genre) or 'Mage Errant' by John Bierce. * **For Romantic/Regency Fantasy:** 'The Lord of Stariel' by AJ Lancaster (a complete, bingeable 4-book series). * **For Unique LitRPG/Cultivation:** 'Street Cultivation' by Sarah Lin or 'Dungeon Born' by Dakota Krout. * **For Epic Fantasy:** 'Chronicles of the Black Gate' by Phil Tucker (highly enjoyable) or 'Voice of War' (praised for worldbuilding).

Why This Order Is Confusing

Many reading lists for The Edens conflict because early publishers often labeled short story collections as standalone novels, or rearranged internal chronologies for marketing. This guide follows original author intent and narrative continuity to settle the debate for good.

Can I skip the short stories?

Technically yes, but we strongly advise against it for The Edens. The shorter volumes often establish the core character motivations and world-building that the main saga assumes you already know.

I watched the show/movie first — where should I start?

Ignore the screen adaptations' timeline. Start with "The Edens - A Legacy Story" to see the original depth of the world. The books offer a significantly different (and usually more complete) experience than the on-screen versions.

Why do people disagree on the order?

Disagreement usually stems from the conflict between purely chronological order and publication order. Most long-term fans recommend publication order to preserve the emotional arc and mystery reveals.

Harrison Eden, the guy she's managed to avoid since their break up in high school, greets her at the door. Unfortunately, in the past six years, he's only gotten more handsome. And apparently, he still loves to push every one of her buttons. Anne's plan is to avoid him at all costs. Except then she learns that her friends invited too many people. There aren't enough beds for everyone to have their own. And guess who volunteered himself to be her New Year's roommate?
