HPMOR’s main purpose was to get people interested in rationality in the first place, so you maybe read the sequences and get on board with the mission. You’re already interested, so maybe HPMOR is less important. But another major benefit is that it conveys the experience of thinking like a rationalist in a way the sequences don’t. Because you put yourself in the protagonist’s shoes. And yeah, it’s both entertaining and enlightening. But again there were certain chapters I had trouble following. It also starts out kind of slow, so don’t give up before chapter 10. You say you are not a native speaker. I don’t know your preferred language, but there are a number of translations of HPMOR, a podcast/audiobook, and machinima videos.
