Animation and novels were two different forms of art, and the way the story was presented was different. Although anime and novels were both literary works, they were different in certain aspects. In terms of storyline, comics were usually simpler than novels. This was because the storyline of anime was usually presented by comics, animation, games, and other media rather than through text. The production cycle of an anime is usually shorter than that of a novel, so there may be some choices in the presentation of the story in an anime in order to present a complete story in a limited time. The animation would also simplify some of the complex character relationships and plots in the novel, such as reducing some of the complex character backgrounds and family relationships, and simplify some of the complex plot twists and developments. This was because anime usually used dynamic images and sounds to express the story rather than words. Although anime and novels had different storylines, they were both excellent works of literature. You could choose a work that suited you according to your preferences.
