It seems it got rejected for "unpublished digital novel" reason

This light novel seems to be in the weird situation where it has a paperback release in english but not in japanese... I guess this is a very strict requirement as the guidelines show no exception.
Although "printed volumes and/or magazines under a recognised Light Novel label" technically doesnt specify the language it needs to be printed in...

Having seen another entry for the LN rejected this week, I can only conclude that apparently MAL does not consider Seven Seas a recognized label. Looks like, despite having the English book in front of us, we need to pray for a physical Japanese release to be finally able to read it...

With markets everywhere (especially western manga/LN/game distribution) sadly often moving to digital only distribution, this really is a good example of why the "with manga and/or anime adaptations already in the database" clause should be restored for LNs, although counting licenses in other languages as proper releases would also help.
