I appreciate the work of yen press translating Okina Baba's works in English for us non-Japanese speakers, but why is the release for the 16th Volume in June 20, 2023?! This is bad. Are there any other official legal English translations for Kumo Desuga, Nanika? If so, please say so!

Volume 15 was released in November 2022.
So around 6 years between each Volumes release , as per usual for professionnal translations of Light Novel.

Nop.
I don't know a single Light Novel that got multiples licensors at the same time.

You can always read the Web Novel , although the plot diverge.

I see, thank you so much! But I'll stay with the Light Novel for now. I am interested how it goes in the LN. Thank you!

yeah i know its kinda frustating ,when other  light novels getting released every 4 months (some even in 3 fking months) kuno Light novel getting 6-7 months gap 

i thinks its so that they can release physical copies , they can release digital version earlier than this but they want to wait till physical copies get printed

Man, why do they want to wait! We the readers don't want to wait! Lol
And Okina did her best to release the 16th volume after the 15th in just two months. Well, I guess it was intended for the native audiences, but still. It feels saddening how we are not included in the treatment. (I am fine with it actually)

The release is slow because not enough readers care, or at least they think we don't care. I actually forgot this series existed and only got around to buying volume 1 last week. The delay is disappointing, but at least it's not as bad as the Rinne manga. English volume 1 came out 4 days after the Japanese version. English volume 40 came out 3.5 years after the Japanese version.
