Question for those who have read all of Moorcock's Elric shit; what's the best order to read those? Chronological or publication date?

Those original stories definitely have their fans and have been a big influence on lots of writers, but I personally found the character of Elric to be pretty boring. Moorcock wanted him to be the 'anti-Conan' and that's exactly how he feels to me: emo and dull. But I've only managed to read two and a half stories so maybe he gets better? I dunno. I think Elric is like a coin flip for most readers: some will love him and some won't. I HIGHLY recommend the French comic adaptions though. The art is beautiful and Elric isn't boring at all in those.
