What are some of the longest stretches of time in between seasons that you know of?

There’s definitely quite a few noteworthy ones, but I waited like 8 or 9 years for Index season 3

That's a very long wait.
Did you read the manga for this series, in the meanwhile?

I didn’t bother reading the light novels to fill the gap. The official English novels didn’t catch up yet, and I can’t stand reading fan translated light novels, since they feel like I’m reading a gamefaqs guide from 2003.

I see.
Fan translation wouldn't be perfect and they tend to put their own comments, sometimes

Fan translations are when fans translate material from one language to another, it’s not like a fanfic.

I’m okay with fan translated manga, because to me it doesn’t change the format. It doesn’t change much mentally when I read a fan translated manga on my phone or iPad vs reading an officially translated one. Light novels don’t cut it for me, since I feel like I’m scrolling through a word doc, or gamefaqs guide, as opposed to an official ebook where I can still flip pages and stuff.

you mean to say because of the for format, you don't like it?

I read ebooks, not fan translated light novels. Ebooks let you turn the page, so it kind of feels like the real thing. The fan translated stuff is just scrolling down several pages which breaks the feeling of reading a book. That’s why I likened it to a gamefaqs guide or a word document.

i think i understand what you are saying
most of the time i read books with epub or mobi format and i need to scroll down for them. so i never noticed this before
 
I would say ANK.
It's a little unfair how long they had taken to get the actual season only to drop it off again.
