Nah no way I see that happening lol
Volume 1 is the entirety of Season 1, so they'd need 10 seasons to adapt it all

That sounds like godawful pacing, is it like a 600 page novel or something? 
If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that.

No it's a standard light novel length (~250 pages). It's just that light novels adapt at a much slower pace than manga as it's full of much more story compared to a manga, which is easier to speed through since it's mostly pictures. So it's actually pretty standard for a season to only adapt 1 or 2 volumes of a light novel depending on the series

In the huge majority of cases , 1 Volume = 3 Episodes.

For 12 Episodes to adapt only 1 Volume , i agree with LostSpectre , it definitely seems like an awful pacing issue.
I'm not familiar with this series , so i won't judge it tho.

You see lots of LN adaptations typically covering a volume in 3-6 episodes, I'm sure there's exceptions, but one volume over 12 episodes sounds awful.

That's only really the case for manga adaptations, not as much with light novels. The only one that I've read that adapts at that pace is the Rascal series, whereas others I've read like 86 tend to adapt way less

Yeah that's why I said at the end how it varies depending on the series, some adapt like 1 volume and some as much as 5. This one did notably have some pacing issues but nothing that made it feel super slow, just kinda felt like it's own director didn't know how he wanted it to go if that makes sense lol

From a quick glance at your list , i can see :
DanMachi
Genjitsu Shugi Yuusha no Oukoku Saikenki
Hataraku Maou-sama !
High School DxD
...

That's definitely the most common choice.

I remembered that Eminence in Shadow took 9 episodes to adapt vol. 1 and then the next 11 episodes adapting vol. 2.

Still, just one volume over an entire season is certainly a bold choice.

From what I've heard, Danmachi, which keeps up at like ~3 volume a season, skips a lot of content from the light novel. I think they even skipped an entire volume iirc. I'm not the biggest light novel reader but it's definitely not, but typically from what I've read series vary between 1-3 volumes adapted in a series most commonly depending on the speed of the adaptation

Yeah, I think the battle it ends with is what they wanted to end the season on (and I don't think they originally intended to give it a second season tbh) so I think that's why it's a little on the slower end in terms of light novel adaptations

I would really hope the majority of shows are at least 4 episodes to a volume, adapting 4 novels in a season is just way too fast.

That was fast. Did they ever completed the whole story with the 10th volume as the final one?

This was the case back then, it was usually 4 episodes per volume. Now it's 3... 😒
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

since its a novel topic i wanted ask, anyone who read the novel, could you tell me how much the anime included? like where does it end in novel (the chapter n volume) and is it worth read from start or its fine to start read from the moment where anime ended? does anime skip a lot of action or showed everything well?
