I read Ikemoto Akirahitoshi (the editor for the Re:Zero light novels at MF Bunko J) said:

"A typical light novel has about 250 pages per book, but the author (Nagatsuki Tappei) wrote over 1000 pages for the first book… I had to edit heaps of content and rearrange parts of the story so they would appear in the later volumes of the series. He wanted to elaborate more on the world and the lore of the setting, but it wasn’t necessary at that point in the first few volumes. Thus, we pushed that back till Arc 3 of the series. We focused our attention on getting the audience attached to the characters themselves before we explored upon the world and backdrop. This is why upon entering Arc 3 the cast of characters the audience will encounter in the anime suddenly increases three-fold from the current cast."

As far as I understand that means there are essential differences between WN and LN after all. Then again, it looks like the plot is the same with some minor changes.

Please correct me if I am wrong here.
