Paulo27 said:At least that's what I heard, volume 1-10 is the original and now he's writing more and it was also something like, volume 1-5 is the first season, 6-10 is gaiden and 10+ is second season.
MU says there's 2 published versions and one of them is on 18 volumes, I think that's a write? That might be what I heard it for, no idea about the details now.

The first published version is light novel version of the season 1 of the gate full book novel version.
the second published version is the re-print version of the novel version as well as teh gaiden novels put together as one series so a total of 20 volumes.
It has been confirmed in the last few personal messages included in the last few published that the author intends to write a sequel novel in the near future so there is more than plenty of content to make into anime.
