I've come to love and hate this series after binging on 8 volumes of web novel. I love it because the story is pretty fun and always progressing forward. I hate it because of wilful writing that causes plot holes. In addition author drops/stop developing certain plot elements because it is most convenient for the author.
For example the .50 cal golems that got introduced early in the story are replaced by spear wielding golems later on. No proper explanation was given as to why he would not use golems with .50 cal machine guns more, despite them being stupidly OP.
5 volumes into the story and MC finally confessed his feelings for the love interest and had his feeling returned. After that point, there has been 0 romantic interaction between protagonist and his love interest.
The 10 volumes of web novel seems to take place within 1 year of protagonists life. The ending of the web novel indicates that author is going to develop the story further in future works.
tl;dr
The web novel is nearly complete, has a pretty good translation to boot. Judging by the images from light novel, there isn't much difference between the two.
In conclusion, I doubt this will be licensed by j-novel.
