Baka Tsuki's translations up to book 12...

If the animesuki forum thread is to be beleived, it looks like the story could very well end at Volume 13. Anything beyond that is likely to be more "spinoff" territory.

I can't say I mind either, the characters deserve a rest after all that; and anything further would be anticlimactic at this point... Those summaries are no longer accurate to the story any more... Everything changed in Volume 13, (little things before hand, but the ending in Volume 13 basically just changes the whole direction of Alicization, from what it was in the the Web Novel)
