I don't know if there's any one good answer to your question, anon :C the story is being intentionally unfolded out of chronological order, so I don't know if it is truly best to start chronologically from the beginning or from order of release.

Personally, I think you should start by going into the Original Sin Story series--not only is it chronlogically first, but it's the series with the least material and it shouldn't take as long as, say, the Story of Evil. Then I'd suggest you move on to the Seven Deadly Sins series, and when you've digested that you go into the Story of Evil, which branches off from said series.

Alternately, you can go in the rough order that mothy is fleshing the story out in and go into the Story of Evil first, then the Seven Deadly Sins series, then Original Sin Story/Clockwork Lullaby Series.

There's really no series where you NEED to know what happened in the previous series, it just helps clear up a lot of minor points or backstory. When going through it it's important to relax and know that you don't need to know all the details at any one time. I feel like I didn't help you but I hope you're getting an idea of where to start @U@; I'd suggest also trying to read and watch all the material yourself and then reading through the wiki for points you don't understand. If you need to know where all the material (not all of it has been translated yet) is available you can check around the External Links section on media pages.
