The way this show's events transpire feels, seems or is observably disorganized. The first episodes events occurs after other elements have taken place in the story which is fine generally. The second episode showcases this. However rather then clearly depict a flashback it instead illustrates the following episodes as being a sequence of events, all of which is confusing.

After the episode that should be a flashback we return to the first episodes events, but a little bit after skipping the conflict that was set up in the first episode. Only for the next episode to return back to the where the first episode ended. the sequence of events is incoherent.

ultimately, this show was setting up some good stuff in terms of sci-fi cultivation but the way the episodes are ordered is chaotic. so, is it supposed to be this way or were the released episodes mixed up?
What is the right watch order? and is the manhua/novel also like this?

from my experience, The 2^nd and 3^rd episode should be watched before episode 1...
watch order: 2, 3, 1, 5, 4, 6 for example...

stopped watching it to let the episodes build up so that a proper watch order would be formulated, however no one has really been talking about this donghua.
