I usually read them in whatever order I bought them in; it was an exciting way to get pulled into the middle of a more developed point in time with 'mysterious' new characters that I would find out the backstories of later in time as though I was reading a prequel (my foray into DBZ was the same; my first DBZ experience was the first Broly movie and I had zero idea what Saiyans were, or what was up with the cool transformations or that Vegeta was a prince, all I knew was that coolness was happening and I could find out the context later)
I was 8 when dbz first aired in English and wasn't really a fan. It did make all my classmates wanna fight all the time hut also suck at it tho, so I got in a lot trouble for making a kid cry whondecided he was vegeta thst recess and thought a series of really fast but not really actual punches worked and was going around doing that to people. Dbz sucks
