I've read the light novel too, and I have no where near as much of an issue with the adaptation as most people seem to. I'm just happy that it got an adaptation, and it's still a rather solid adaptation at that.
The jumping around is because of the side stories that they put into the season. Going only by volume 1, there's really not much jumping around at all, sans the 2 year jump that happens in the manga and LN right after they find out about the rules of the game.
