Where do you read the light novel??
He probably talking about the official English version that releases digitally on Amazon and some other digital retailers.
I read it through J-Novels, they are the publisher for the official English translations (light novels). And because of that they release parts each week leading up to the official release. It costs about $10 for a monthly subscription or less.

The English translation of the light novel’s vol 12 will be out Oct 14 of this year! If anyone is interested and has already purchased and read vol 11, j-novels (through a subscription) releases a part of the novel each week till the official release. I have already read up to 4 chapters :D. This vol is supposed to be a huge turning point in the relationship between Maomao and Jinshi, so I am really looking forward to those parts. Of course, their relationship isn’t always the centre of the plot, and I am sure the development, as always, will happens towards the end of the novel, but I’m still excited!! This will keep me going each week in anticipation of the anime’s 2nd season next year.
Also hoping the tax evasion of the artist of the manga doesn’t stop or cancel the publication of it. It’ll be very sad if that happens :(.
