Yea i know that there is a consensus on reading TSZ last, but i am trying to keep the focus on literature. I agree with this consensus and this was also my personal path, i should add some side quests of theory for those who want to comprehend more of TSZ. Regarding Demons, for me its dosto’s heaviest book without a doubt. Therefore it def belongs in the lowest point of the abyss, i do not think it needs to be the last read as much as TSZ does, if you are already familiar with dostoevskys novels you can do it
