How is the Light Novel different from the Anime? I haven't tried reading it yet, but from illustrations so far, it looks like they follow quite different storyline. I could be wrong though.

Now that I'm severely interested in the novel so far, (volume 1 almost finished) I'd also like to know if it differs too much from the anime or if it's the same storyline.

In the novel page, it says the anime goes from volume 1-6 but I'd like some confirmation I'm REALLY itching to watch the anime but I'd like to read the novel first if the story is the same.

Can anyone help us on this?

the anime follow the novel pretty exactly, it just skips and leaves out a lot of stuff

s1 is vol 1-6 and s2 is 7-11 (including 11)

The anime leaves out a whole lot of the side-character events, jokes , and Hachiman's twisted-yet-correct philosophies concerning relationships & society. The event flow in the novel is also much more natural.

Thanks for the answers, guys. I guess I'll stick with the novel, then. I'm reading volume 3 and it's soo awesome! I'll watch the first season of the anime after finishing volume 6, and do the same for the second season after finishing volume 11 (by the time I get to it, it'll probably be translated already.

Was hoping the "Ends at Vol 11" is outdated. If we go by the authors release rate and the number of volumes a season have, guess the next anime season will be summer 2017 at the earliest
