This chain works for me. It sets a custom Yes/No column to Yes for the first book (lowest series_index) in each series, and undefined for all other books. You must change the selection modifier actions to use your column. You probably want to give the chain a keyboard shortcut.
Once you run the chain you can use search to find the books of interest. Or maybe a virtual library that shows only "first books".
I don't know if this is the best way to do it. I thought about using book variables instead of selections but that seemed somewhat more complicated. There are other ways to build the list of ids that might be faster.
EDIT: I tested it with calibre portable 5.44. It worked.
