I like to read this kind of history more than watch it because it have more dettails and i connect a little bit more with the characters, but i sont know if the LN is better or the same compared to the anime, im not counting fighting scenes, but the comedy and the dialogue as criteria

Of course it's better that's a given.
Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together.

I didnt understand your quote very well.
You said: "of course the LN is better, that is a blessing given by Oni-sama"?
Did you read it?

It's natural that LN have more depth than anime adaptation. It have more monologue and more detail plus anime remove future major antagonist entirely.

I know it have more dettails and stuff like that but i cant say its better because sometimes the narration or the pace in the Light Novel is much more different in the anime adptation, just Tell me if its better or not, english isnt my specialty as you may already noticed.

That's what the anime lack. I've said earlier that LN is better than anime.

Light novels and visual novels are *always* better than their respective anime adaptations

That's a pretty easy and accurate rule to live by. Manga adaptations are more reliable since it's an easier medium transition

so much better. Shizuku vs Touka is better in the anime but the rest are worst. There's also the manga that follows the ln better. Akatsuki the main antagonist of the next part is missing in the anime. Alice is one of them and that reveal should have been a cliffhanger but jst like the puppeter and Ikki's bro all of them was removed or replaced (golem user got replaced by a generic guy).

What don't you get? Have you ever heard anyone ever say they liked a movie more than a book? Same thing with LN's and Anime Anime usually rush a few things here and there. There are differences in the LN and anime but the majority of it is pretty spot on. Obviously the LN's are more detailed so you can picture it yourself but that is a given.

Can I skip volume 1-3, and start from 4 if I watch anime... Or Anime skip so much and need read from begining?

I haven't read Rakudai specifically but generally speaking when it comes to 1-cour LN adaptations that cover 3 volumes you can normally skip the volumes the anime covered and start from where it ended and you'll be fine, but if you really liked the show then you might as well read it from the beginning just to get those few extra scenes that were cut out. So it's probably up to you

Volume 4 is where the most interesting part starts, Volume 5 has a badass antagonist.
