Helmstif all I can suggest is don't stop reading
I read a few of the originals back in the day plundered from the local library but decided to read everything from scratch. So far that's 28 of the original series this year!
Admittedly I've gone a bit backwards by reading all but one of the Dark Age lot last year.
In many cases it's very much like watching an action movie where logic doesn't always matter and over analysis will just make your noggin ache. Only one book was a struggle, where over description dominated and stymied the flow, but even then the finale was still worth the read.
What I love is the definite sense of time flowing the more you read. Multiple perspectives are often covered in different books, characters are not always author exclusive, units reappear throughout the timeline and seemingly unassociated stories are later woven into the tapestry of the greater Battletech Universe.
Oh and yes, while this is not Game of Thrones, the passage of time brings new life and death to all factions. Enjoy characters while you can as this many factions, with this many leaders and so many supporting protagonists all vying for one thing means it ain't always pretty!
