Wait, no one read this volume or something? This topic is strangely quiet.
With out any detailed spoiler, I will say that your enjoyment level of NG5 will depend on how much you care about the story of NG vol.3 and characters that appeared in it since this is the basically the sequel+epilogue of that story. Spoiler for Big plot Spoiler:

Index III was a mistake

Its roughly halfway done.
-- The "twist" at the end of Chapter 2 really worked for me as it was clear that something was off with the way things developed. Too many OOC moments and plot armour/conveniences/contrivances than what one would expect; even from Kamachi. Thankfully, it was all intentional. Very amusing that Kamijou finding money on the ground was the dead giveaway that things weren't right.

GT5 is fully translated now.
I thought it was a great 8-9/10 volume; definitely better than GT4 which people had legitimate problems with (despite me liking it).
All in all, I'm happy with how Kamijou acted this volume; this is what I expect from him rather than his streak of stupidity in GT4. I was very satisfied how everything from GT3 and some plot points from GT4 came together for the novel's resolution. I really only have one irreconcilable issue with the novel which hopefully someone else can explain to me: Here's hoping GT6 covers the Sisters reveal plotline from GT4. I was relieved that Misaka and Shokuhou didn't make an unnecessary appearance this time around but I expect some follow up on this plotline and them. Also some more reaction from Shirai and maybe Kamijou. We're getting really close to New Year's Eve in the series calendar now.

Personally, I am not buying Touma's big talk in this volume?
Why? Because the conflict at hand did not challenges his messiah complex. So I am not convinced he truly believes in the possibility of the people and saving them. Touma, you are no Mukudori Reiji. Not until you can prove that you are not saying those thing to fuel your messiah complex. Other than that, I had my sigh of relief. Frilsand#G still being the same good hearted ghost she was had removed most of my fears. This volume also reinforced my belief that we need a To Aru Kagaku no Yomikawa as a spin off. |

I cannot tell if he said this because he place worth in people's choice, or said it because of if he let Alice do what she did, she'll be the messiah this time and not him. Simply put, I cannot tell his rejection of Alice's offer to be different from his rejection of the self proclaimed No.6 |

He wants to be the one who fight the bloody battle, be the one who shoulders the other's burden, and end up saving the day. You say he respect other's decision? Have you forget he undermines Mikoto's hard work to to become his comrade all the time? Remember he never once respected her hard work and still stubbornly believe she should night fight? He is so fixated on himself being the one who shoulders other's pain and refuse to recognize the other can do the same. This is messiah complex at its finest. Quote:
The point is he does not ask for help when he should? Instead of relying on plot armor? You know that's the only reason he didn't bleed to death this volume right? And he often gets away with having no consequences? St. Germain is like the only consequences he had from refusing to accept help. And I am not sure if he learned any lesson from it. |

Well, this volume was good. The plot with the dark side was disappointing but the next vol looks promising.
Kaai being able to take a human form and talk was something dumb. What's the point of GT3's afterwords now? Accel is still retarded with the whole plot of being the chairman. Looks like another arc of the magic side is coming which is good. The Chapter 4 was confusing. Didn't care for the plot with risako at all, also neither the how hasuu became a ghost and how he was controlling the taboo were not explained Kuroko just keep losing lol, also there's no reaction from her about the sisters more than being horny. Still waiting consequences for the sisters reveal but knowing how pussy kamachi is, i doubt it. Also what's the point of the crown of thorns, is Touma going to sleep for three days or something |

Rather than him not asking for help, he just doesn't ask for help if it contradicts whatever he's feeling in the moment. He was willing to and did in fact get Youen's help this volume, but he stopped because he felt he would be too much like Tessou if he kept at it.
