I am almost fully caught up to the web novel, being at chapter 50 of arc 8. I just wanted to list my favorite web novel arc sections/ individual chapters. This is a list of my top 20 chapters:
I purposely didn't include arc 1-3 but in anime terms because I didn't end up reading them, episode 13-15, 18, 20/21 and 23-25 are the best from them. I don't think arc 1 has enough substance but we'll see as we edge closer to the end of the series. Either way, the foreshadowing and rereading and rewatching will be fun regardless.

Arc 4: 16-19 Natsuki Family
Arc 4: Ch 42, Value of life
Arc 4: Ch 129, choose me

Arc 5: Ch 42, Newest Hero and Most Ancient Hero
Arc 5: 71-74, Astrea Affair 77: Nameless Knight

Arc 6: Ch 25-29, Pleiades Battalion Vs Reid section
Arc 6: Ch 39, Ruins
Arc 6: Ch 53 54, A Voice Chimed & Re:Zero Starting Life in a Different World From Zero
Arc 6: Ch 61: “Stand Up”
Arc 6: Ch 70, The Earnest Star
Arc 6: Ch 73&74, Natsuki Subaru
Arc 6: Ch 85: Good Loser
Arc 6:Ch 89, Shaula

Arc 7: Ch 52-54 10 second hell
Arc 7: Ch 75, I know

Arc 8: Ch 7, Todd Fang
Arc 8: Ch 12, Natsuki Subaru and Vincent Abellux
Arc 8: Ch 23, Louis
Arc 8: Ch 38, Rowan Segmunt
Arc 8: Ch 44, How to respond to faith

I wanted to also rank my top 3 phases from Arc 5-8:

#1:Phase 6, #4 of Arc 6 and then #3: phase 1 of arc 7 and 8 are about the same to me. The starts of those arcs are solid, even if it drops off a bit in arc 7.

I just reread that chapter because you said it. Omg that chapter was the most horrific chapter of arc 6 minus the tunnels in phase 1. Meili is a pretty good moral dilemma in Subaru’s mind and it honestly sucks that her character arc has stopped there.

arc 6 chapters 73 & 74 i think are the best chapters in re:zero and offers such a insanely powerful payoff to 6 entire arcs of character development, but something about arc 7 chapter 75 hit me in a place emotionally that i wasn't expecting. honestly out of all the chapters i've read the one i felt the most emotional reading was arc 7 chapter 75, theres something so powerful about the exchange between
that nearly broke me. i can't really confidently explain why, i want to say because of the fight before it and tanza
which just made everything come together.

im currently still on arc 8 chapter 33 but i think my favorite chapters from arcs 4 - 8 has been:

arc 4 chapters 16 - 19 (i read LN so i'm guessing those web novel chapters covers the first trial)
arc 5 chapter 42
arc 6 chapters 73 - 74
arc 7 chapter 75
arc 8 chapter 23

I just caught up and the last phase of arc 8 that’s out, especially the last 4 chapters leading up with Garfiel and Heinkel vs someone and then Cecilius and Al vs someone was incredible. Cecilius’ name chapter was top 3 imo. It was so damn well written and how cecilius rewrote his own destiny. Actually fucking beautiful. I was grinning and almost tearing up at how hype it was. Have fun catching up and now I am like everyone else who has to wait for the next batch. 🙂‍↕️

Best phases/volumes are difficult to rank, because I want to say so many. The last two volumes of Arc 4 are consistently peak, as is the last volume of arc 6. Volume 25 is genuinely unsurpassable as of this moment.

We have the chapter named "Priscilla Barielle"

I just read it through Reddit since WCT has yet to post it after some days but my fucking god, that actually made me sad. The foreshadowing and Al and Subaru’s end. The last sentence of the chapter was so damn powerful. It actually might just be the perfect conclusion to the Vollachia arc that got split. It’s better than arc 6 after its entirety imo. I liked arc 7 when it began and took a long break but came back and caught up to arc 8 after about a year but I had to wait just as long for the last 30-40 chapters of this arc to come out. Seriously Tappei killed this conclusion and it’s better than anything before. Al better join the Emilia camp and Heinkel with felt. Shultz idfk tbh.
