I'm actually quite disappointed with the last 3 episodes, as the story was jagged with just a bunch of things thrown in. The finale was anti-climatic, and felt like a mid-season break than a season finale. Overall, the series was a lot of fun, except the last 3 filler-like side stories.
Although I do like Zena as a character on her own in a different story, her fit in the anime has been very awkward. She is just thrown in, gets sorta jealous, and suddenly Satou has taken a liken to her. Maybe if she is developed more, but what I've seen of her so far really doesn't fit the rest of the cast. A simple way to handle that is that Satou buys a mansion as his home base/trade warehouse/trade headquarters. Those six will handle things at the home base and also act as security. Imagine defeating enough monsters in a normal RPG game at the rate a normal RPG goes for to level up to 310. In a normal game, every time you level up, you have to defeat even more monsters to level up to the next level. At level 100, you'd already have to defeat so many monsters, it would probably take weeks non-stop in a normal game to level up. Imagine at that exponential rate to get to level 310. Now, imagine all the drop items and gold that would have been accumulated from what would have been decades of normal RPG playing. We're probably talking multi-billionaire (US equivalent) status here. Either way, at the start of the game, his currency stash had amounts of
For a meal, it was 1 copper coin. To stay 1 night at the inn, it was also 1 big copper coin. For the horse cart (think big truck equivalent price), it was around 18 gold coins. All in all, I don't think he has to worry about money, unless he spends it carelessly, say, to buy a kingdom. He does make some money, too, when he collect monster cores and through his merchant activities. Also, he started off with 3090 skill points, which means he can max out a maximum of 309 skills, or a lot more skills if he doesn't maximize them.

It was a trapped between a rock and a hard place decision, because in terms of ending, both vol. 2 or vol. 4 would have been a much, much better point to end the series at than vol. 3. Unfortuneately for the overall series and being a 12 EP series, ending it at vol. 3 might have been the best decision despite the weak ending episode.
If it ended at vol. 2, the anime would fail its job to introduce people properly into the series with the whole "journey on a horse-cart" theme and so on which makes up the whole first grand arc until the story reaches a certain place quite far into the future. It might give people a completely wrong impression when they are about to buy the LNs and might both disappoint people who expected more of vol. 1+2, and also keep away potential future LN readers interested in the slice of life aspect, which makes the adaption of vol. 3 an absolute necessity. If it ended at vol. 4 the anime would be EVEN MORE RUSHED than it already was. It would become a monstrosity like Madan no Ou to Vanadis which cramped a volume into 2 episodes each. So yea, if Death March had gotten 15-16 Episodes, it could have ended after vol. 4, i.e. after the Muno arc, which would have probably been the best spot to end it. Quite a pity.

Most LN doesn't even reach 15k in LN sales, so Death March is doing quite well for itself.
