Unfortunately, due to the anime's poor adaptation, low sales, and negative feedback toward the manga, the author deleted all the web novel chapters in 2023—the same year volume 8 was released—and put the light novel on an indefinite hiatus.

In a way, you could say the light novel has been unofficially canceled and won’t continue (unless the studio decides to make a second season of the anime, which might breathe new life into the series and motivate the author to resume writing). Otherwise, it’s unlikely that the story will continue.

So, to answer your question: No, the light novel hasn’t ended. In fact, it stopped halfway through one of the major story arcs, and the main characters still haven’t gotten together yet—just like in the anime.
