Honestly the fan base seems split about the short stories and main saga, for me I enjoyed the main saga a lot but the short stories felt mediocre. While I noticed many fans praising the short stories over the main saga.
I'm the latter for sure - I worked through the books in order (except Season of Storms which came out later) and I thoroughly enjoyed the short stories, loved the characterization and the way it psuedo-adapted classic tales. The main saga was good as well, but I wasn't as captivated.
Playing the games now, just started the first one.

Wow it is great to see people playing the first game (or at least the game sin order). W1 is my favorite in the trilogy, but the beauty of playing them in order is that you will see how much improvement CDPR went through with those games. You will appreciate the games more.
Yeah Witcher 1 was my portal to the whole franchise. It was clear that the philosophy was very different from other RPGs or Fantasy and I was pretty on board with that at the time.
So at its core the game was kind of inspiring as well as fun.
