There isn't any real order to kill the bosses in. And different areas can be explored at different times.
Even in terms of "new players should do this first" the path is very open to interpretation.

Any guide will just be one possible idea of how to play.

Just explore, and if you can survive then it's a place worth exploring. If you are struggling, then try a new path and/or boss.

There is an objective difficulty difference between the bosses though. The moth demon is easier than capra demon, for example. And the area around bosses is to be calculated to the path as well.

While there technically is not limitations to where you can go, for new players who want to a gradual difficulty curve, there is an optimal path to be found.
