Amazon preorder for Crest of the Stars ebook volume 1 just came up for June 9th, it literally got license rescued a couple weeks ago. They promised three-in-one hardback omnibuses starting early 2020, by the way, with Banner of the Stars for sure to come after Crest has finished. (Alternatively, you could get a $5/month membership at J-novel for weekly legal translations. Here is the free volume 1 preview ).
Don’t know about the other one, though.
All You Need Is Kill
Mardock Scramble is a pretty good cyberpunk novel.
Seconding recommendation for Crest of the Stars, but the new translation is not quite ready yet. Volume one is only getting released next month and then you can either wait for volumes 2 and 3, or pay for subscription at J-Novel Club website to read the ongoing translation. Or you can wait till all 3 volumes are finished and binge it then.
Banner of the Stars translation will start after they are done with the Crest.
By the way, all titles mentioned above are regular Japanese novels, rather than light novels. It's pretty rare for pure sci-fi to be published as a light novel.
As for magitek/science fantasy, Owari no Chronicle is quite good. It's only available as fan-translation, you can find it at Baka-Tsuki. And there's an informative review at MAL.
