Talk:Re:Zero Light Novel Volume 9/@comment-29813903-20160831044921

So I'm a bit lost if someone could set me straight. I've never really read any light novels, nor too much manga up until finding Re:Zero, so it's all a bit confusing for me. According to Wikipedia, Volume 9 doesn't come out till late September, so is it still expected that the final 3 episodes will close all that up? Also, I can't wait for a second season, so I'm trying to find where I should be at plot wise with volumes/arcs/etc. Apparently where episode 22 is at is near the end of Arc 3? So if Volume 9 (still finishing Arc 3) hasn't even been published yet, then how is it that another whole 3 arcs with of content exist, as this wiki gives plot summarys up through Arc 6? I'm just entirely lost - does it usually happen that an author goes from WN, to publishing a LN, and so forth down to an anime itself?

If it is the case that the WN is really that much more ahead and accurate, then is Arc 6 as far as the author has gotten to writing? Would reading to there then catch me up?

Any info would be sick, I'm in love with this series ^_^
