Types of Light Novels

  • Main Story Novels – These are the core novels that follow Natsuki Subaru's journey as he navigates the world of Re:ZERO, facing various challenges and situations, dying again and again to save those he loves. The main story delves into his relationships, growth, and the mysteries of the world, as well as those of the other main characters, providing the central narrative of Re:ZERO.
  • Ex Novels – These novels offer additional backstory and lore by focusing on side characters and events outside of Subaru's main storyline. They provide deeper insights into the motivations and backgrounds of key characters, enriching the overall world and adding context to the main plot.
  • Tanpenshuu (Side Story Collection) Novels – Collections of side stories that have been compiled and published in a light novel format, often with minor edits. The original side stories are usualy published elsewhere as a shop special or part of the Gekkan Comic Alive magazine, etc. The translations for the individual stories can be found in the Side Stories page.
