Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- (light novel)
| LN will always be significantly better just because the Manga and Anime have to cut so much content out. The Web novel is currently fan translated past the anime though. The anime ends at Arc 3 and can be picked up on the Web Novel at Arc 4 - chapter 0. The web novel is currently fan translated up to Arc 5 chapter 38. Web novel is original source material if you want to give it ago. |

Andromedaxy said: Sorry if this is stupid but I'm new to reading Manga on the Internet. Is there a difference between the Web novel and the light novel? If that's the case then I can't find the light novel anywhere.. Re:Zero was originally released as a self-published online story on some website; that's what it means to be a Web Novel. Think of most fanfictions and how they're written and put up for free on certain sites, except that in this case Re:Zero is an actual story with a developed storyline and characters. Currently the web novel is suuuuuuper long and super far in the story, but there's generally two problems with the web novel: 1. from what i heard, it's detrimentally long, a lot of content, and also kinda sloppy(?) 2. it's all in Japanese. There's fantranslations, but they're super inconsistent in terms of who translates it and how much content gets translated. I've been staying away from all that and sticking to the Light Novels. Now, a Light Novel is really just a novel, a regular ol' book. You can buy them on Amazon, e-book sites, and, if you're really lucky, at some bookstore that has Japanese content there. They're called Light Novels because they're about 250 pages long and pumped out in a set schedule. In Re:Zero's case, the english books are published every 4 months. This Light Novel series adapts content from the Web Novel, organizing and shuffling events into consistent stories. I think most people consider the LNs as the more canon version of the story. As for the anime and manga, from what I understand both of those are adapted from the Light Novel instead of the Web Novel. So there's a bit of a double layer to the adaptations. If you want to read the Books or the Manga, Amazon and other websites offer them in english officially (I personally use the website BookWalker for e-book versions). |
All hail the Almighty Funyarinpa!... Wait, what do you mean you don't know what it is?! How DARE you! SAY you're sorry!!! APOLOGIZE TO THE FUNYARINPA! ______________________________________________________________________________________ |
| Just read the WN translations. Its the OG source of it all. LN? Manga? Anime? It all came from the Web Novel. |
