I love the art style so I want to play the series but I have no idea where to start. I downloaded everything I could and this is my list:

1. Anti-Demon Ninja Asagi Premium Box
1. Yukikaze 1
3. Anti-Demon Ninja Asagi 3
4. Yukikaze 2
5. Kurenai
6. ZERO
7. Witch of Steel Annerose
8. Fallen Wife
19. Diviner Knight Towako, Wicked Incubus Breaker
10. Special Agent Rei & Fuko, Hardcore Domination ANIME
11. Cara the Bloodlord
12. My Elf Elder Sister
14. Shinigami
15. Wife Stealing, Female Teacher Training Logbook ANIME
16. Prison Battleship Premium Box
17. Prison Battleship 3
18. Prison Academia
19. Koukaku no Ai
20. Ochiru Hitozuma
21. The Group Sex Club
22. Anti-Demon Ninja Asagi 2
23. Anti-Demon Ninja Asagi 3
24. Anti-Demon Ninja Asagi
25. Anti-Demon Ninja Asagi Chaos Arena
26. Taimanin Yukikaze
27. Kangoku Senkan 2
28. Kangoku Senkan Premium Box
29. Taimanin Murasaki

I definitely know there are some duplicates and ones that I assume would be in the Premium Box games, please help me rearrange it and what to delete, thank you.

Kangoku Senkan is just Prison Battleship in japanese, also if i'm not mistaken the first and second game are together in the premium box
I'm pretty sure Prison Battleship, Prison Academia and Ochiru Hitozuma are different series, they have nothing to do with taimanin except for the art style
I don't know much about the rest since i haven't played them but i think you don't need to play them ALL in order except for a few that are direct sequels.
Check vndb to be sure, it's your best tool, you can also just see whatever vns Black lilith/Anime lilith (the developer) released by order of date and play them in that order if you want, also look at the relations tab

This should help:

You must be registered to see the links

I don't remember if it was 100% accurate, but it should be pretty close. Note that it also includes the three gacha games in there. Aka Battle Arena, RPGX and Action Taimanin, but all those can be ignored until you're done with the VNs tbh. Plus, the lore in those is rather... disjointed...

Be aware that there may be some spoilers in the play-order section, but you can just use the Content list at the top without scrolling down.

As the user above said, the Prison Battleship stuff isn't actually part of the Taimanin setting. Annerose and Cara the Blood Lord might be in the same setting, but they're not directly part of the continuity, so you can basically read those whenever you feel like it. (Lilith hasn't confirmed or denied to my knowledge, but I may be wrong... some of the characters appear in some of the gacha games if my memory isn't failing me).

There's more speculation somewhere in that wiki about how some other VNs may or may not be connected to the Taimanin Universe, but I don't remember where it was, or how relevant it was. You'd run into a lot of spoilers though looking for that, so I wouldn't recommend bothering until after you played all the VNs in your list anyway. Which is gonna take a while. XD

Appreciate this! I won't be playing the gacha games so that's fine. You should see my backlog, I have this series, Grisaia, Muv-Luv, Majikoi! and literally hundreds of other VNs to play. I do think I'll start with Taimanin though.
