What makes BSD stand out as its own system? I’ve been thinking about installing it in a new computer mainly for reading but I don’t know much about it.

It is nice. The file system is clean. It’s package manager works as well as any of the Linux distributions. I ran it for about a year, a decade or so ago. I started using Linux in '97 or so, more than anything because of the GPL and the idea behind it. I’m still a GPL die hard and pretty much the only reason I don’t run FreeBSD is the license. Which for most people isn’t a big deal, but it’s a breaking point for me. FreeBSD software used to run not as up-to-date versions of software, but I think that’s become far less of an issue. Try it out! It really is nice and you’ll probably find yourself asking why more people don’t run it.
