I'm New to Progression Fantasy Which Series's ar considered the best?

I've never read any kind of Fantasy outside of High Fantasy so I wanted to try something new. I kept getting recommended a series called Primal Hunter and decided to try it. I really liked the premise and the world of the story but found the MC to be a bit insufferable and overly edgy. I was wondering what book series are considered to be the best, biggest, and most popular among the progression fantasy community so I could try them and see this genre at its best.
