If you want a clean, bingeable path through 'Necropolis-Immortal', here's how I usually map the release order and why it matters to me.
Start with the original serialization: read the chapters in the exact order they were published (chapter 1, chapter 2, and so on). Most series like this are serialized chapter-by-chapter—whether on a magazine, web platform, or a publisher's site—and that chronological publication order is the baseline. After a run of chapters, the publisher compiles them into volumes (Volume 1, Volume 2, etc.). I always follow the original volume numbering when I switch from reading online chapters to collected volumes, because the volumes preserve the intended chapter breaks and any corrections the author made.
Once the main storyline is done, slot in any side stories, extras, or special chapters. These are often published in magazines, special editions, or the back of a volume; they usually make the most sense after the main arc they reference. Watch out for international releases: English or other-language editions sometimes come out later and occasionally rearrange extras or bundle multiple volumes into omnibus editions. For the smoothest experience, I read the main serialization/volume order first, then chase one-shots and extras, and finally collect translated or omnibus editions if I want shelf-friendly versions — it keeps story beats intact and preserves those little author notes that made me grin.

Okay, trying to figure out the reading order for the 'Tales of Immortal' series (I'm assuming you mean the 'A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality' universe) is a classic fandom headache. The main series is 'A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality', and you should absolutely start there. It's the core story of Han Li's journey.
After that, things get branchy. There are prequels like 'The Records of the Human Realm' which delves into the backstory of some characters, but honestly, I read it after the main story and it felt like fun bonus lore rather than essential. The sequel, 'The Immortal Realm Arc', follows Han Li into the higher realms, but the translation was a mess for a while—some chapters were out of order on aggregator sites, which confused everyone. My advice? Stick to the main novel first, get the complete arc of his rise from mortal, then hunt down the side stories if you're still hungry for more.
I'd skip the various 'Tales of...' titled fan compilations or side story collections until you're deep in; they often spoil major plot points from the main narrative.

Hunting down chapters of 'necropolis-immortal' is the kind of mini-quest I actually enjoy — like tracking down a rare side quest in a game. My first stop is usually aggregator sites that collect links and status notes, because they often list whether a translation is official, ongoing, or dead. Sites like NovelUpdates are great for that kind of overview: they’ll point you to an official release if there is one, or to the translator’s blog or mirror if it’s fan-translated. I also check the author's own pages and any publisher imprint mentioned; sometimes chapters are behind a paid wall on platforms like Kindle or Webnovel and the author will link there.
If I can’t find anything official, I start looking through community hubs — Reddit, Discord servers, and reading forums. Translators often post at least a chapter or two on their blog, Patreon, or Scribble Hub, and they usually leave clear notes about rights and where to read legally. A quick tip: add quotes around 'necropolis-immortal' in a web search and include words like "translation" or "chapter" to narrow results. Be mindful of sketchy sites that scrape content without permission; supporting the original creator or paid platforms keeps more stories coming. I’m excited to finally track down the latest chapters and see where the story goes next.

So I stumbled on this series out of order and had to piece it together, which was a whole thing. The core sequence is clearly 'Chrono-Core Awakening', then 'Echoes of the Sundered Realm', followed by 'Veil of the Eternal'. That's the main trilogy. But there's also the prequel novella, 'Whispers Before the Storm', which some people say to read first and others swear you should save until after book two.
Honestly, I read the trilogy first and then the prequel, and I preferred it that way. The mysteries in 'Chrono-Core' hit harder when you don't have the backstory upfront. The prequel answers questions you don't even know you have yet, so it feels more like a rewarding deep dive later on.
After the main three, there's a collection of side stories called 'Fragments in the Spire' that expands on some minor characters. It's not essential for the main plot, but if you're really into the world, it adds nice texture. I'd slot that in last, definitely.

Let's talk practicality. If you're using an e-reader or a subscription service, you might not have access to all the anthology novellas. In that case, read the main novels in order. The core story of the Accession, the Morior, the Pravus, and the key alliances is all in the full-length books. The novellas add delicious depth and backstory, especially for side characters, but they aren't strictly necessary to understand the major plot beats. You won't be lost without them, just slightly less informed on some character histories.
