Why is the Light Novel version not listed on MAL.
It was also officially translated by Seven Seas Entertainment (if I recall correctly).

It seems there isn't a physical Japanese release of it.

That's just....stupid.
Why does a physical "Japanese" copy need to be realeased?
When the series is already recognized as a published Light Novel (Be it digital only).
Why can't MAL just ADD ONE MORE ENTRY???

Eh, no use complaining about it.
I'll wait for when MAL decides to finally change their LN requirement and add it.
(Or the series gets a 'physical' 'Japanese' release)

Is there a form or anything where I can ask for MAL to register the LN?

Don't bother with Watashi no Oshi wa Akuyaku Reijou Novel , it has been denied multiples times because it's an Unpublished Web Novel.
(MAL allow Manhua , Manhwa and Novels in the database only if they get a physical release in their country of origin : Database Guidelines I.2.1 & I.2.4)

I just have to ask this, what happens to MAL when there is no more physical releases of things anymore? The world is moving towards to digital and it is only matter of time until there are no more physical releases. Just like video games on PC! Manga and light novels and even anime will probably soon be exclusively digital.

This policy is very frustrating for me. I read lots of Manga, Manhua , Manhwa, Light Novels and webnovels and I get angry every time I can't find database entry from it here. I have to mark them up in so many database sites and I'm getting very tired of this. Why can't there be one place for all these? WHY?

Now I have entries here in MAL and in Anime-Planet. Also I have to use novelupdates because I can find some webnovels there. Then I have to use mangaupdates because not all entries are everywhere but most are there. Mangadex is my primary place for manga, manhua, manwha. Then I have Goodreads where I try to place every LN and book I read (not manga).

So I use 6 places to track my entertainment from East-Asia when there could just be one big database for all but no...

Would probably be a pain in the ass to manage all of that.

Welp , i use my "About Me" to list all of those who are not allowed , and i have no problem with that.
It's so much easier to edit my profile instead of editing multiples list in multiples sites. (Or you can use the Blog Feature if you don't want them in your "About Me")

Someone did mention this finally getting a proper physical release in Japan as well a while ago on Dynasty, but I haven't seen any actual proof of that yet. Hopefully we'll be able to read the LN as well soon, though.

It’s getting a physical release in Japan!

Is there anyway to add this info/cover to the pending LN page?
