Introductio
Masadaverse is kind of a dubious term as it connects two series that have no connections to one another - the Shinza Banshou series, and the Senshinkan series.
I'll try and explain everything about "Masadaverse" that I can to you that will help you get into the series. A beginner's guide, if you will.
Senshinka
If you are wishing to read the Senshinkan series, then it hurts me to tell you that they are not translated and it isn't possible to find the game in English.
Shinza Bashou
If you are wishing to read the Shinza Banshou series, then I have much better news for you.
Well, first of all - there are many novels in the Shinza Banshou series.
Paradise Lost
It starts with Paradise Lost, which is a novel detached from the others, and sadly isn't translated. However, there is a person, named Mothra, who is translating the novel slowly on YouTube here.
It isn't complete, but it is still something.
Dies Irae ~Amantes Amentes~
The next novel is Dies Irae, specifically the definitive edition sub-titled ~Amantes Amentes~, and its a big one (very long too) with many side stories, the novel itself is completely translated and can be found on Steam here. The Common Route, the route in which you make certain choices which dictate which route and ending the latter half of the story will follow, is free on Steam - its two "DLC" is those later half of said route. So you can read the first few chapters for free to see if you like the novel and buy the rest if you desire.
NOTE: If you do buy the game, make sure to follow the specific route order of "Kasumi ---> Kei ----> Marie ------> Rea", if you don't follow this route order, you can ruin your enjoyment of the story and all of the mysteries that can be found within. Luckily for you, Steam has a guide that you can follow that is simple and easy to understand that can be found here. I'd like to warn you however, the translators of the game wanted to help push readers into the right route orders by taking away optional choices, so the guide made for the game on Steam is a little outdated, but it still will help you make the right choices when those specific choices show up - so it is still worth the effort to read and follow the guide.
There is an alternative, however. You could just watch the entire visual novel on YouTube, as this channel here of this guy's, Bunny Tuttle, channel has the entire playlists - there's no commentary so the person doesn't ruin the experience. I still would recommend buying the game, however.
Dies Irae-Interview with Kaziklu Bey
This is a side novel to Dies Irae that takes place before the main novel's prequel and deals with a specific character from the main novel. Despite this being a prequel, I'd still recommend reading it after the main novel to better understand who these characters are.
The novel is completely translated on Steam here, or can also be found on Bunny Tuttle's YouTube channel here.
There are no routes in this one, and so no guide, just sit down and enjoy.
But like I said with the main novel, I'd recommend buying the game for the best personal and moral experience.
Dies Irae's Light Novels, Manga, and Anime
There are two Dies Irae Light Novels, there are two mangas, and there is one anime. Dies Irae's Light novels are called: Dies Irae ~Wolfsrudel~ (This one isn't translated, and the only thing I can find on it is a listing to buy the Japanese paperback) Dies Irae ~Song to the Witch~ (This one IS translated and is even downloadable)
Now, there are two manga for Dies Irae, one is a manga retelling for the main novel Dies Irae ~Amantes Amentes~ and I'd say isn't worth your time if you plan on reading the novels. The other is a prequel manga drawn by the series artist G Yuusuke called Dies Irae GY - there are only two chapters of this manga and they can be found translated here.
And there is an anime for Dies Irae ~Amantes Amentes~. There is only one thing to know about his anime - don't.
It's a terrible adaptation that's a confusing mess and ruins the story from the novel. Whatever you do, stay far away from this anime.
Kajiri Kamui Kagura
This is a sequel novel to Dies Irae ~Amantes Amentes~ and sadly, is not translated at all.
It is supposedly one of the most difficult things to translate, ever, and any "fan" translation that you might see on YouTube are basically just people throwing it into Google Translate - don't bother with any of those videos if you find one, they aren't worth the effort of reading verbal nonsense that doesn't accurately portray the story.
Dies Irae Pantheo
Dies Irae Pantheon is the sequel novel/gatcha mobile game to Kajiri Kamui Kagura that went through development Hell until it got canceled when Light, the developers, went out of business because their parent company Greenwood went out of business in March of this year.
The only remains of this story are from pictures of artwork that was shown, tidbits of information given to us by Takashi Masada's, the writer, twitter, and from the prologue to the story being packaged into the Switch version of Dies Irae ~Amentes Amentes~ in Japanese only.
And like with Kajiri Kamui Kagura, any English translations are terrible butchered versions of the main story.
So I'd advise that you don't waste your time.
Conclusion
As I said previously, Light went out of business earlier this year, and so you won't be getting any more novels translated into English that isn't already available - and I am deeply sorry for that, but that's how the cookie crumbles.
But on a more positive note, I hope to have properly answered all of your questions and informed you on how to get into this wonderful series.
If you have any more questions, you can ask either myself or another fan of Masada's works and we will be happy to help you.
You can contact me either on this thread, on my message wall, or for both myself and other Masada fans, here on the Masadaverse Discussion Thread.

To add on to Warren's comment:
There's possibly places to find in downloading any of the games but that's a hardball to really get cuz I'm unsure of where you can. Although I was over at the Shinza Bansho wiki that two other users, Trexalfa and Fabtastic, made where someone found out how to buy Paradise Lost on JP Amazon lol.
But in actual relation to Warren's comment, there's no translations at all for K3 as he explained and Pantheon's been cancelled (at least for rn cuz Masada's trying to find ways to continue it iirc), and the only ones that have translations are DI and its side story of Interview. Paradise Lost does have one in progress but it's a fan translation (albeit one that is likely better than nothing/machine TL'ing it), and there is a fan TL of a LN of DI's as well called "Song to the Witch".

I consider Visual Novels literature. The closest to a game that I have "played" is Steins;Gate due to its SMS mechanic. Don't get me wrong I am not dissing them. I have read and loved titles like Clannad, Steins;Gate and Majikoi.
I hope its okay to derail as the original question has been answered.

In every single way? The story of the novel isn't a huge mess that's outright an asspull filled nonsense, for example.

What asspull? How is the game better? I wouldn't know, I had a severe case of DIAA during the first scene.

I watched the anime all the way through. It wasn't great, but at least I wasn't almost immediately thinking "how about something goes right for a change?" More around the halfway mark.

Dude, "whatever new developments Shinza gets" would also include Pantheon, since it is a part of Shinza.

Way to miss the point. Yeah, it is a part of Shinza, I'm suggesting it is far less frustrating for everyone just to focus on whatever is being developed/released currently. Pantheon's on hold, its development frozen, and it could be a looong time before it gets going. Most of the storyline that was planned for it is going to be released as different installments in different formats, Avesta being one of them.
