Comic recommendations?

I’m pretty new to X-men comics, but have read a couple runs start to finish, and while I’ve enjoyed them all, it’s hard to find a run that doesn’t require knowledge from a hundred other comics and universes to fully enjoy. I really enjoy the team-building aspect of the x-men where they save mutants that end up becoming part of the team, and a lot of the comics I’ve read so far kind of skip that and take place in a world where the X-Men are already fully developed. Any new recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
