Wish it was going to cover more of the light novels. The adaptions so far is excellent and the art is great too. Hope to see more of Seiya again some day.

thats a bold assumption for a light novel adaptation. normally the anime gets ahead everytime a season airs and there have to pass a few years so the manga can get ahead of the anime. the biggest exception is mushoku tensei becauae the author rejected a lot of anime projects before one satisfied him, and even then COVID made the project one year late ... and even that one will follow this rule once the second season ends

Ummm there are plenty of anime that continue on with multiple seasons using the light novel materials rather than the manga material.

This isn't how light novel adaptations work. The anime and manga are not dependent upon each other; the anime doesn't need to wait for the manga to "catch up." They're both independent projects, adapting the original source material's work. That's why you have cases where arcs will be cut or shortened in the anime adaptation that appear in full in the manga, and vice versa. A Certain Magical Index's Deep Blood storyline is a great example of this, as it was cut from the manga, but adapted for the anime.
There are exceptions to this, but they're usually few and far between and happen for very specific reasons. For example, the recent anime adaptation of The Heroic Legend of Arslan started out as an adaptation of Arakawa's manga. This was largely because of her reputation after Fullmetal Alchemist drawing more attention to the project, but also because her designs were easier to animate than Amano's original works. And even that project sped ahead of the manga and began adapting from the light novel before the first season was even over.
