Some fans create 'ultimate' reading orders that splice chapters from the main series, spin-off, and even novel excerpts. These are fun projects for superfans on a second or third re-read. They are not for newcomers. They assume you already know the story and are looking for a new way to experience it. As a first-timer, following one of these ultra-complex orders will fragment the narrative momentum and emotional beats of each individual series. Appreciate each story as its own complete work first. The connections are Easter eggs, not structural necessities. Keep it simple for your first delve into the labyrinth.

Honestly, asking this on a forum is just going to get you 50 different opinions. Mine included. The only person who knows the true intended order is the author, and they might not even have a rigid one in mind. Manga is often created episodically, with spin-offs greenlit due to popularity. The 'canon' can be fluid. My advice? Start with Chapter 1 of the main 'King of the Labyrinth' manga. If you love it, you'll naturally seek out the other material, and the order won't matter because you'll be hungry for more. If you don't love it, no reading order will save it. Start with the source and let your interest guide you.

Comparing it to similar series like 'Dungeon Meshi' or 'Made in Abyss,' the reading order is straightforward—just the main series. Those don't have multiple concurrent manga adaptations to juggle. 'King of the Labyrinth' is an outlier in its franchise sprawl. It's more comparable to something like 'Toaru Majutsu no Index' with its myriad spin-offs. For those, fans often debate 'index vs. railgun' order. Here, it's 'main vs. another story.' The same principle applies: both orders are valid and offer different experiences. There's no consensus, only preference. Don't sweat it; you can't go 'wrong.'

The manga's pacing is deliberately slow-burn, focusing on the protagonist's meticulous growth and the labyrinth's eerie ecology. Introducing the faster-paced, action-heavy spin-off early might spoil that atmospheric build-up. The side story has a different tone entirely, more about guild politics and external threats. So, the 'correct' order also depends on what you're seeking. If you want a deep, atmospheric dungeon crawl, stick to the main series. If you want more traditional fantasy adventure with a party, the spin-off might be more your speed. They're different flavors of the same world, and you can sample them in either order based on your mood.

The tone of the main series is quite lonely and introspective. Following a mostly solo protagonist in a deadly environment. The spin-off is louder, filled with party banter and guild politics. Switching between them can give you tonal whiplash if done too frequently. I'd recommend reading each series in its own block to get into the right headspace. Finish the main story's first major arc (maybe through volume 5 or 6), then take a break with the spin-off as a 'palate cleanser.' This keeps the unique atmosphere of each intact and makes the world feel bigger when you switch between them, rather than confusing.

Honestly, just read the light novels. The manga hasn't been updated in a while, and it's uncertain if it'll ever finish. The light novel series is complete, translated, and available. Why start something you can't finish? Go with the guaranteed complete story.
I'm coming at this from a different angle: the web novel. The manga is an adaptation of a web novel that, last I checked, didn't have a complete or polished English translation either. So the manga on AlphaPolis is currently the most coherent and complete way to experience the story in English. The manga adaptation also tightens up the pacing of the early web novel chapters, which were a bit slow.
Knowing that context makes the AlphaPolis release even more valuable. It's the definitive version of the story right now. The site organizes the chapters sequentially, and you can read from beginning to current without jumping between different scanlator sites with different styles and quality. It's a unified experience. For a story about mastering a complex dungeon, having a straightforward, reliable path to read it is pleasantly fitting.
The prequel was written for fans who begged for more backstory. It assumes you already know the fate of the kingdom. There are little winks and nods that won't land if you haven't read the trilogy. That's your biggest clue: trilogy first.
