I love reading light novels and for some series the people recommend the web novel instead of the light novel I searched online on the difference between light novel and web novel but it only says different plot never how is the plot different.
I want to know the difference between a normal novel and a web novel and a light novel. And if you know other types that you can explain then please do.
Thank you.

I mean web novel is easy, in that it’s published on the web.
Otherwise it’s basically marketing and target audience. Light novels are still novels, and some of them aren’t even that “light,” but if they’re targeted to the same audience and published by a LN publisher they’ll be marketed as light novels.
The label suggests a certain genre/style/subject matter, which helps set expectations for the reader, but of course there will be exceptions. Again, it’s basically just marketing.
