I said "for some reason", because, technically, the web novel is basically a draft version of the light novel, since the light novel is just a revised version of the web novel that got published and the web novel was removed from the author's site. And it was supposed to imply that I don't really care which version you prefer, since that's your personal preference, but I find it weird to disrespect the author's decision to change his story. True, although it lead into 16.5, and it's pretty easy to assume that 16.5 is how it happened.

When did I ever disrespect Reki's choice to change the story? I never even said what I personally considered canon or not (web novels or light novels), all I simply said was that I preferred the web novels to the light novels. I'm aware the web novels are essentially a draft of the light novels, but that doesn't mean you can't like them more than the fully published story. It's your own personal preference, and just because you (slightly) like the original web novels over the published novels, doesn't mean anything outside of the fact that I liked the web novels better, even if by just a little. And as to why they were removed from his website, it's because of the fact that if they were kept up on his website then there would be no point to buy the light novels, since they are essentially the same but with a few changes here and there, where some changes from the original I like and some I don't. It's as simple as that.
