Some question for up-to-date LN readers (NO SPOILERS)

The story is supposed to be 12 Arcs long and we're currently on Arc 8. That being said the recent Arcs have become progressively longer so we might only be around the halfway point.

I would expect atleast 50 Novels once it's completed, likely even more.

Idk about the how many seasons it would take, because I don't know how long the upcoming Arcs will be.

If the merchandise continues to sell well, probably

How much longer do you think the story is going to be?

 How many more light novel volumes are you expecting?

How many 2 cour seasons of anime can be made with current material?

Do you think Rezero will receive a complete adaptation?

(I'm just a curious anime-only, thanks.)

12 Arcs as the author confirmed. (We are currently at the beginning of Arc 8)

Currently, 33 Volumes contain Arc 1-7, I expect between 55-70 volumes depending on how long is the final arc and the other upcoming arcs. Arc 7 had 8 volumes as an example.

Anime adapted 15 Volumes in 50 Episodes (6 volumes in 25 in S2), currently, there is 34 Volumes. There is 60-75 episode material depending on pacing.

It will probably get complete adaptation since it's one of most profitable anime franchise.

well that's a lot. i don't think it's wrong to say that it might take more than a decade to just finish up the novels and another to adapt. season 3 might end up adapting 6 more volumes still there's a LOT left to adapt. sincerely hoping we get a full adaptation, rezero is in my top 10 fav animes.

I think S3 will adapt 10 Volumes in 40 episodes, episode count is already leaked between 38-42.

The story will continue for a while. Pretty sure Tappei said there would be 12 arcs and he already split one arc into two (Arc 7 and Arc 8 were supposed to be the same arc), he could totally do this with other arcs. Arc 1,2 and 3 is the same length as arc 4 combined. The rest of the arcs are about as large as Arc 4 if not a little smaller.
Probably about 50 more volumes on the LN front.
With the current material, at 2-cour 24ep seasons, you could make 3 more seasons or 72 episodes, maybe that's a bit liberal though.
Re:Zero will probably receive a complete adaptation as it's increasing in popularity. We've already seen a teaser for Season 3 and it looks like it might be adapting both Arc 5 and Arc 6 in a long season spanning multiple cours (if it's single-cour it will be disastrously fast-paced). Tappei is also getting quite popular as we're seeing by his new Suicide Squad Isekai feat and with Vivy. I would bet on it being completely adapted if and when the story ever ends. I wouldn't expect it to end before 2030.
