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.
Trickster Eric Novels gives "I've Been Killing Slimes for 300 years and maxed Out My Level" light novel volume 4 an A+
