In the world of anime, it seems that light novels have a worse time than manga when it comes to being adapted. Unlike manga series, light novels can take longer to come out, especially since they are released as whole volumes instead of just by chapters.
Both the manga and the anime are just adaptations and don’t contain as much detail as the light novels published. Light novels and manga are quite different types of media. While light novels have some pictures, they're text for the most part and therefore have more in-depth setting descriptions.
Despite all of this and the many anime adaptions, there are a few differences between the anime and light novels. No anime perfectly adapts the source material, and some changes were made for the better. However, some were not.
What's the difference between the Overlord novel and manga? Are they the same? If they are not, is the novel illustrated like the manga with visual presentation?

Comment. In the world of anime, it seems that light novels have a worse time than manga when it comes to being adapted. Unlike manga series, light novels can take longer to come out, especially since they are released as whole volumes instead of just by chapters.
Konosuba merchandise flies off the shelves, and fans are still raving about the latest movie; it's surprising that the show is missing its third season. The series recently wrapped up in 2020 with 20 volumes, but the most recent movie only caught the series up to volume 5.
Perhaps because they are a series of books , the light novels have noticeablely slower pacing than the anime. This makes for a snapneck pacing at some places, and a snail's pace in others.
There are even side stories that feature other supporting characters such as Silica and Lisbeth. Some side stories also fill in some story between light novels, such as a Sword Art Online: Alicization side story when Kirito and Asuna were stuck inside the world for 200 years. It detailed their lives, as well as the fate of the other characters.
While terms like "fluctlight" are said frequently and only explained once, there are way more explanations about them in the light novel. Instead of one offhanded remark about a certain term, characters go in-depth about it. This is especially true in the Alicization arc, as there are a lot of new terms to learn.
Since Kirito is the protagonist of the story, it is told from his perspective. Because of this, his thoughts are more transparentーonly in the light novel, though. From how he first thought of being trapped in the game world to his interactions with the other girls and Asuna, his thoughts are laid out bare.
To fit time restrictions, sometimes decisions have to be made. This is the case with the anime adaption, which happens to cut a considerable amount of lines and phrases. The light novel has a lot of speaking in it, from character quips to information. However, the anime cut down on this, instead focusing on showing, not telling.
The light novels don't exactly pan everything out in chronological order. For instance, despite the Aincrad arc ending, the light novels sometimes go back to a past instance and recap the reader. This is a bit frustrating at times, as it flip flops between the past and current events that are taking place in an arc.
5 The Light Novel Adds Story. Because Sword Art Online was originally a web novel, some bits of the story was not added into the finished light novel. However, since the author wished to add in more story at times, some bits of information would be added in throughout arcs.

If Fate/Stay Night isn’t one of the best light novel anime series, it’s certainly one of the most popular ones on this list. It got its first adaptation back in 2005, but the popularity of the franchise dictated that this wasn’t nearly enough, leading to the series getting not only a prequel in 2011, but a remake in 2014. Since then, the franchise has continued to chug along, giving us plenty of new video games, manga, light novels, and multiple animated versions of the universe’s fabled, ever-occurring Holy Grail War, even spinoffs featuring popular characters from the franchise.
For many fans, manga is a very common word. Like Western comics, manga is Japan's own form of graphic storytelling that has one long history. The unique style of manga dates all the way back to the 19th century and came into global popularity back in the 1950s following the end of World War II.
