Rimuru keeps getting more and more overpowered, and no matter what happens it always ends up with Rimuru and his village benefitting at the end. It just tends to ruin all the build up to the sheer amount of politics and meetings. Speaking of that, this has got so much more politics than any other light novel I've read, and a shit ton of meetings between a lot of characters. I can't keep track of the characters, they're just too much. Regardless, it was a good volume. I most likely won't pick up the next volume.
