I found in [Manga Updates](https://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=118201)
that there are Web Novel and Light Novel versions of _Re:Zero_.

So are there any differences in them, like plot, characters etc.?

Are there differences between the web novel and light novel versions of Re:Zero?


In any adaptation of a story from one version to another, there are going to
be some edits. Originally, _Re:Zero_ is a web novel and it is always the
furthest along in the story. The story gets edited a bit as it gets
transferred to the "official" light novel publication, and even more as it
gets drawn as a manga.

As far as my experiences though, the overall story does not really change
between these mediums. It seems mostly just a case of how much content makes
it through to each. This is, of course, the most visible between the manga and
anime adaptations, since the studio is limited to certain time constraints.

From what I've heard from the community regarding _Re:Zero_ , the light novel
is what is considered the most canon/official.
