doesn't matter. I would recommend starting with Romeo and Juliet, then Othello to get the pleb shit out of the way. his other plays are much better imo desu senpai
It doesn't really matter if you're talking about his plays, except for the histories I guess. I'm not that familiar with his poetry though, so I couldn't tell you what order to read that in.

Romeo and Juliet and A Midsummer Night's Dream are his most newbie-friendly works.

Venus and Adonis first, then Rape of Lucretius just because of tone and order of being written in being the best way to go.

Shakespeare himself never numbered them, they're inspired by the French sonnet cycles, so... they are all the same effort, it's not crazy or demeaning to say Shakespeare wrote three poems.
Start with Titus Abdronicus it's his best
