Is it worth reading? It sounds interesting as fuck but I’ve never read Nietzche before. Is it alright to start with it?

Fred can teach you a lot but don't expect his work to be easy.

Yes, it's fine to start with. Just refer to SEP and secondary lit if you have to, and just know that it may take a few readings of a few different N texts before you see the larger picture, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't just start now. You'll get it eventually.

It's easier than Hegel and Kant because Nietzsche at least says what he fucking means and makes sense.
Pure idealism can die in a fire, all the wounds it had caused will never be healed.

It's boring shit, start with Beyond Good and Evil

the best starting point for Nietzsche with BGAE. The part of the first dissertation about resentment is essential reading if you want to understand him imo.

more than that nietzsche explicitly assumed the reader to have read bgae while writing gom

Gen of Morals allows niggerfucker mindset people to easily and whimsically extract shit takes from his work and philosophy, since it's more plainly spoken than BG&E and Zarathustra. If you're intelligent and insightful enough to even qualify among his target readers then start with BG&E as others in this thread have said
