Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu originally began as a web novel on Shōsetsuka ni Narō, and its first chapter was released on April 20, 2012. While the author originally posted chapters there normally, the series was adapted as a light novel. He later used the web novel as a draft for the upcoming novels that were to be released until each of them caught up to the other. As the web novel is a draft, every detail that is inconsistent with information from the light novel should be considered non-canon.
An additional page for chapters that take place outside of the story was created on August 7, 2023.

The jungle soon turns out to be the Buddheim Jungle located in the southern Sacred Vollachia Empire, and after meeting the ousted Emperor of Vollachia, Vincent Abellux, he participates in a campaign to help the man calling himself Abel regain the Imperial Throne. However, the situation evolves when Priscilla Barielle and her camp arrive to help Abel. To end the rebellion, thereby allowing Subaru to return home, he and Abel must recruit more of the Nine Divine Generals than the two who deposed the Emperor, Berstetz Fondalfon and Chisha Gold. But the situation is far more complicated than it appears, and while Subaru is engulfed by an unfamiliar technique, the signs of a looming disaster predestined by the stars begin to assert themselves through a Stargazer who facilitated Abel's dethronement.

Meanwhile, Natsuki Subaru, his allies, and his enemy, Todd Fang, retreat from Lupugana together. Along the way, they eliminate numerous undead beings, dubbed “zombies”, until a betrayal occurs, causing Emilia and Rem to intervene with the situation. After Subaru loses consciousness, he awakes in a dragon carriage leaving the Imperial Capital, finding himself face-to-face with his friends in the Emilia Camp, the Pleiades Battalion, and Vincent, the man who once called himself Abel. After resolving the discrepancies in their relationship, they and their allies begin working towards ending the destruction caused by the undead army and its commander.

Re:Zero EX
The Re:Zero EX chapters are web novel chapters that are usually posted for each April Fools'. To celebrate Natsuki Subaru's birthday, the author writes a chapter or chapters which deviate from the original web novel, though there are also several additional chapters posted on Febuary 3 for the Re:IF side story that commemorated Ram and Rem's birthday from the day before for several years. They are around four times longer than normal chapters and have shown three types of stories, with the most notable of them being what would've happened if Subaru did something contrary from what he actually does; each of these chapters resembles one of the seven deadly sins. Other stories told include alternative universe stories where the cast is in a Japanese high school setting or has their genders reversed, as well as a major backstory chapter centering on the tale of Iris and the King of Thorns.
Trivia
- Currently, only one web novel chapter has been entirely removed from the web novel, which is the Butterfly's Dream What IF Story.
- Although other chapters have been removed, they were reuploaded onto a separate page for Re:Zero works depicting content disconnected from the main story shortly thereafter.
- Previously, the author stated that there would be eleven arcs of the story, but that he originally planned for nine, with Arc 2 and an unknown arc being added later.[1] However, Arc 7 was split into two arcs, Arc 8 became the third arc to be added later, and there will now be twelve total story arcs in Re:Zero.
- The web novel does not feature any illustrations except for in Arc 3, Chapter 80, The End of Sloth.
- In the light novel, Arc 4 included the knighting ceremony featured at the very end of One Day II. The rest of the extra addendum was not added.
- Arc 6 is the arc that took the longest time to be written. As opposed to every other arc beforehand, Arc 6 took the author roughly 5 years to complete.
- There is a misconception that the titles of Chapter 22 of Arc 1 and Chapter 54 of Arc 6 contain the name of the series both without and with the "Re:" in the beginning respectively. However, the word "starting" (始める, hajimeru) in the series' title is slightly modified in the two chapter titles to another tense (始まる, hajimaru), thus meaning that they do not directly use the name of the series itself within their titles.
- In a Re:Zero talk show held back in 2018, Tappei Nagatsuki expressed his desire to name the final Re:Zero chapter Re:ゼロから始めた異世界生活 (Re:Zero − Having Started Life in Another World).
- Vincent Vollachia is the first and only character featured in the story thus far to have an arc named after them.
