Actually, on most cases, Animes follow their own directive in the storyline. Overlord 's own first season is based on the LN. If it did follow the WN, then we wouldn't have Mare, Albedo, Hamsuke, Nferia as part of the cast; Narberal would've been the one playing the role of Momon; Ainz would be the grounded solely on magic research in Nazarick; Demiurge would've been the leader of the Guardians; Brain should've been captured in the hideout and became Shalltear's familiar; and there would be no Ainz vs. Shalltear moment due to her not needing having to travel too far out of the bandit camp and avoiding an encounter with members of the Black Scripture.

Moving on to other examples, the anime of Kyokai no Kanata (Beyond the Boundary) followed an anime-only storyline that diverges from the plot points of both the light and web novel.

Another case is One-Punch Man that has diverging stories when it comes to the manga, and the author's original web comic. The anime of this title is purely focused on the direction of the manga. (The last bit is unrelated to the WN argument but it supports my case of animes having their own directive)
