In the anime, the story development is more streamlined. It quickly moves from one major event to another. In contrast, the novel has a more meandering story development. It spends more time on the build - up before reaching the big events.
The anime may skip over some of the intermediate steps in the story's development that are present in the novel. For example, in the novel, there are more detailed interactions between the characters during their investigations, which are sometimes condensed in the anime. The overall arc of the story in the anime is more or less the same as in the novel, but the details of how it gets there are different. The anime tends to be more action - oriented in its story development, while the novel is more about the slow revelation of secrets through dialogue and internal monologues.
The pacing of the story development in the anime is faster compared to the novel. This is mainly due to the time constraints of the anime format. The novel can afford to be more detailed and thorough in developing the story. In the anime, sometimes the plot twists seem a bit rushed, while in the novel, they are more gradually introduced and easier to follow in terms of the logical progression of the story.
