The Asterisk War had the unfortunate fate of having to compete with a lot of other series that had extremely similar sort of plots that all aired around the same time. However, while it was deemed one of the less desirable of the lot, age has made Asterisk War look a lot better even if it still never differentiated itself much from the other, similar series it was competing with.

Where To Start The Asterisk War Light Novel After The Anime?
If you finished both seasons of The Asterisk War anime and want to continue the story with the light novel, you can start the light novel after Season 2 at Novel 7.
That said, there are small changes to the story by the end of the – otherwise pretty diligent – anime, so it is strongly recommended to read Novel 6 before continuing on. Other than that, there is no reason to read The Asterisk War light novels from the beginning unless you want to.
Is The Asterisk War Light Novel Over?
The Asterisk War light novel is complete. It ended in 2022 with Novel 17.
Where To Start The Asterisk War Manga After The Anime?
While The Asterisk War has a manga series, the manga only adapts what the anime adapts. As such, there is no additional story to be found in manga form.
Will There Be A The Asterisk War Season 3?
There has been no official announcement of a The Asterisk War Season 3 anime.
While a second season usually denotes popularity. I think in this case, since the seasons were released quite close to each other, that the series just got a “two season” deal before it became more common to do split-cours. Regardless, with the anime ending in 2016 and the light novel ending relatively recently, there is less and less chance of a third season by the day.
