Any reason to read the unabridged version?

you miss a lot of establishment and character development that makes everything flow better. If you read the abridged version, you'll most likely be confused at plotholes and how characters act. Pretty much everything in the full book is essential.

Didn't Dumas just write it like a 24 episode a season tv show though?
Where majority is just filler, with a little bit of story progression here and there to keep people reading.

I don't know where I heard that.

Although there's filler, it stills moves the story and develops characters.

The Red and the Black by Stendhal for sure
Also Les Miserables

Yeah, when you read abridged you’re not getting the author’s intended work presented to you. Plus The Count of Monte Cristo doesn’t have anything that can justifiably be skipped in my opinion

The three musicals and the anime adaptation are pretty good.
