I disagree, they set the scene for what's to come.

We see ankh morpork and the wider discworld through the eyes of rincewind (lives it, knows it, mostly hates and/or scared of it) and twoflower (all new, loves it all, naive).

So it sets the stage for all the other characters to enter and exit from there onwards.

Don't get me wrong, they are important books, and quite good. They just lack something compared to the later books. It's like the shutter start effect on some films. Initially it's a bunch of stills. At a critical point it becomes a stuttering moving image. It finally becomes a living breathing film.
