Trash of the Count's Family >>> it's PEAK.
Although I'm biased because I dropped the original novel of TBATE YEARS ago when at one point everything and everyone began pissing me off. I have no idea if the story got better after I dropped it though :/
Well, if you want something a bit more light-hearted and prefer wholesome character interactions rather than pure action (like me) then definitely TOTCF, otherwise you'll probably prefer something like The beginning after the end which a lot of people like, it's just personal preference

Between trash of the count’s family and the beginning after the end, which one would you recommend to read first?
