This has been a guilty pleasure of mine since it's been published and I have to say that this volume definitely was one of the better ones so far.
Slice-of-life always sounds like a very easy genre to write for but to be honest, I find it one of the most challenging since the author has to somehow manage to balance the normalcy and excitement very finely, less it veers off-balance.
Slime-Killing definitely has had certain points where this felt rather whack but this volume has generally managed to strike a great balance between the daily life segments and Azusa's adventures as a super-powerful Witch.
This volume slows down on the pace of character introductions, with only two major additions to the cast. The first is wannabe rockst-, I meant ministrel Kuku, who has dreams of making it big as a singer but her works unfortunately left much to be desired. It falls upon Azusa, busybody as she is, to turn her life around resulting in a surprisingly touching tale of perseverance of chasing ones' dreams.
The other only appears very briefly but expands the worldview a little more with the introduction of spirit Yufufu, a *very* motherly personage who's also in charge of organizing the World Spirit Summit, a social gathering of spirits.
Both are rather great additions to the cast, in addition to the author exploring more of the usual cast including some others from previous volumes that I am embarrassed to say that I might have forgotten more than not. Thankfully, my memory has gotten a decent jog in this volume in the course of Azusa's exploits.
Even with all that, the gentle tone of the story remains quite intact and it's really this soothing atmosphere the author conjures that really makes this quite a great read for me. Not many can claim to be able to do this and the testament of this series, currently at its 9th volume in Japan, stands proof to that.

The fourth volume is where the animated adaptation's first season ends, and so the new content begins now! There is an awful lot here that wasn't covered in the anime. That was a treat.
For instance, the music festival in the demon kingdom. In the anime, this was a one-episode event that focused mostly on new character Koko the minstrel. In the light novel, it is a very large deal that spans multiple chapters and includes several events. It's basically a reunion of previously introduced characters, and thus shows the reader how they're doing.
And they're doing very well. Since their first encounter with the Great Witch of the Highlands, their lives have turned around in a big way. Eno the Witch of the Grotto, Pondeli the undead catgirl, and Fightie the martial artist slime, are all enjoying their new stations in life.
There's also a chapter's worth of lime light for the blue dragon community. That was hilarious.

So apparently I "forgot" (see my review for vol.3) and picked up volume 4.
After volume 1 I thought I was going to enjoy this series. Then it doesn't just slide downhill it jumps of a cliff with 2 and 3. Sometimes authors can bring things back to where they should be... and well, Morita didn't. At least we didn't end up with half a dozen new characters. Only one this time. But she wasn't very interesting to me and the interactions between the previous characters were all exactly as they have been before. Nobody ever changes.
At the very least, the library doesn't have volume 5 so I am safe from slipping up and grabbing that any time soon.

We all know the light novels with the OP hero and how much it annoys us that they manage to do everything. Now here we have an OP hero and they do NOTHING. Literally nothing. It was fun at first, a quiet read after work, and I enjoyed it as such, but by volume 4 SOMETHING should please happen. Some stakes. Some excitement. Something more than endless descriptions of song texts and a music festival and making manju. For once, please don't hug it out!

After the repetitive second, and to a lesser extend, third book, and adding more members to the family, this was more of what I'd originally wanted - adventures in this fantasy world. There's still no real stakes, but that's fine, and hey, we only ended up adding one member to the family! I'll call it a win.

Yufufu part hit out of nowhere (but I'm already getting immunised to the whiplash I get from reading LNs) but otherwise this volume is a step above the rest I feel? A nice volume and the new characters introduced were really neat.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.

More wonderful isekai slice of life with Azusa and family. Loved the new characters in this one.

I loved so much this volume! The Doorknob scene! I'm still laughing at Azusa! This volume was full of freshness//fun//more characters! Loving Kuku!

เล่มนี้เหมือนเราจะไม่ค่อยเข้าใจสักเท่าไหร่ล่ะมั้ง ไม่ค่อยเข้าใจอารมณ์ของตัวละคร (ที่จะให้ใครมาเป็นแม่ก็ได้ เพิ่งเจอกันไม่ถึงวันเรียกหม่าม๊าได้ง่ายๆขนาดนั้นเลยเหรอหรืออารมณ์ของเพลงที่ตัวละครใหม่อย่างคุคุร้อง...ถ้าไม่รู้ทำนองที่ใช้ก็เดาไม่ออกว่ามันเพราะยังไงอ่ะ) รวมๆก็คือลูกสาว น้องสาวและเหล่าลูกศิษย์ยังน่ารักเหมือนเคยแต่เรื่องที่ยกขึ้นมาเป็นตัวชูโรง 2 ใน 4 เรื่องเป็นเรื่องที่เราไม่เข้าใจเอาซะเลย เลยต้องแอบลดดาวมาดวงนึงเท่านั้นแหละ

2nd reading: Reading it in chunks or chapters made a much smoother and more engaging read. Last time, I read it all in one sitting and by the next volume, I was tired of the story. Also, I guess it helped that I have learnt how not to read books in one sitting since I first read this book four years ago.
