To people wondering, the LN and WN diverge a good amount, and I'm pretty sure this is based on the WN, so if you plan to start reading one of the novels from where the manga is, you're stuck with either reading the WN or just reading the LN from the beginning. Personally, I chose the LN when I was faced with the decisions because I like this series enough that I wanted to support the author by buying the physical book anyway.
