I was going to say this – though I've only read it once, I'll certainly read it again. Loved how much it immersed you in the world.
Recently I enjoyed Cloud Cuckoo Land by Anthony Doerr for similar reasons, if you're looking for recommendations!

Count of Monte Cristo is the best revenge story ever told which is why it appeals to me, but you’re right about the immersion aspect. Maybe I would choose the unabridged version for the full experience.
Hope you enjoy it!
I really do love the 19th century magazine to novel genre though.
