The things you liked basically describe the entire series so yes you'll probably enjoy them. The stories can get serious towards the end but they're still wacky throughout.
As for starting with the first game, it has a lot of charm and a great story but it is by far the worst to play. On one hand it's a slog to go back to if you start with anything else, but I've also had people drop the series entirely because they started with D1 and were bored to death. That said, it's the game with Laharl and the plot has some of the highest highs of the series imo. There's a "remaster" of sorts on PS4, switch and mobile that plays better but replaces some of the art and classes, it's still a fine way to play the game but it lacks the PS2 soul. The PSP version is a nice straight port with bonus content, PC is somewhere in between those 2. There's also a DS version but it's kind of lacking.
If you're on PC, the rest of the series is at your fingertips (except 3 and DD2 but give it some time). 5 is a great place to start gameplay-wise but what I've seen of the writing so far makes me want to die, 4 has a good balance of gameplay and story, 2 is my personal favorite and I think it has a great balance as well. Haven't played 6 or 7 yet but I hear 6 has good story and 7 has good gameplay, I just wish they kept the sprites.
Personally I think the games are great on portable systems, so if you have a switch or a PSP/Vita and can get the games on there, you're in for some comfy times.
Sorry if this felt a bit long and overbearing but
TL;DR: Yeah, why not?
