Ruwen and his friends have five days to spring a comrade from the world’s most secure prison, Legion’s Vault, located in the city of a god that wants him dead. Permanently dead.

Their only way into the city is competing in the yearly Step Championship. Nothing says low profile like combat in front of a hundred thousand spectators.

If remaining anonymous and breaking into a legendary prison didn’t already spell disaster, an old acquaintance appears. One who knows Ruwen’s name and face and can destroy all their plans.

Entering the fifth level of Legion’s Vault seems difficult, but leaving might prove impossible.

Because the path home has a cost and will condemn one of them to certain death.

5.0 out of 5 stars The only thing I’d change is the length
Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2021
Verified Purchase
Perfectly paced, well-written, and enjoyable to read, my only complaint is that there is not more to read. AFK’s powerful characters, well-written relationships and action scenes make this fifth installment a book I couldn’t put down. Would recommend the series to anyone who enjoys character progression and stories with characters that possess cleverness and depth. Rooting for Ruwen and the rest as I wait impatiently for the 6th book. So glad AFK addresses the direction of his productivity, seems like an author that cares a lot about the audience and won’t make the same sacrifice to quality that others have. By far one of my favorite series and authors.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Story - Conjoins the Story to the next arc
Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2021
Verified Purchase
The importance of this book, clearly, is to establish how Our main character will become enough of a threat to destabilize the power balance of the universe as we know it, which is a difficult place to be for our poor main character.

A lot of the development in this story is our main character growing into becoming… essentially a god. Learning how to use power responsibly and consider the outcomes and ramifications of his actions.

As such, the book has a more contemplative tone than many of the others, and is an interestingly different note than the symphony the other books create.

Depending on the next book, this is either the start of a new melody… or a flop. This book itself is good, but the responsibility of the success of the next book depends on how the author takes it - making it an important shift in the series.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good, enjoyable series, but too much apologizing
Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2022

I've enjoyed this series. The plot is well thought out, there is good pacing and complexity, the characters are three dimensional and mostly likable, and it's not predictable! There is only one significant gripe I have, and I hope the author reads this and considers it.

I'm tired of the protagonist apologizing. I checked, he apologizes 1- 3 times on average in most chapters of the novel, and that is typical of the series. Almost no one else apologizes, mind you, it's mostly him. He apologizes for things that aren't his fault, things he had no control over, or things he did to survive. He even apologizes for things other characters should apologize to him for! This has to be the most guilt-ridden teenager I've read.

Meanwhile as he treats everyone like gold, thanks them profusely or tells them how wonderful they are, and they often treat him like dirt or insult him. Their typical response to a compliment? "Yep I am amazing, practically everything you've done you owe to me." Five books of that gets a little old. At this point it's annoying and reduces the enjoyment of the series, which is why it gets four stars. Solid series overall, but that's the adjustment I recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars Predictable chaos, with a twist that just keeps on giving
Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2024
Verified Purchase
While some aspects are expected or predictable, there's normally a twist that alters that scenario in a unique manner. It's one of the reasons I love this series. Following Ruwen and his friends is wonderful and incredibly fulfilling. I wondered why certain aspects went the way they did and why logic doesn't always flow, but that's okay. I'm willing to take a chance to wait on the reasoning to be explained later, or at least hopefully anyway.

This is the best series on LITRPG I have ever read, and I have read most! It is engaging, character and world building is superb! You are on the edge of your seat cheering for Ruwen and his team of bandits. He isn’t overpowered to the point of insanity and he is humble and caring! For the fifth book I still felt progression of the story line and it was an adventure the entire time! I desperately want to know what happens next! You are on auto purchase A.F. Kay!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Fantastic Journey Continues!
Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2021
Verified Purchase
This was a great book, another in the surprisingly well written series by A.F. Kay. Legion's fifth vault traces a development arc of progress in the main character Ruwen's life. Some big leaps were needed to prepare for "divine level" confrontations that have been foreshadowed, and this volume is clearly about the developments that provide for much of that to happen.

It is well written, continues the same fantastic world development and characters, and I was disappointed when it was over. Well done. Can't wait for book six.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Read!
Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2022

You can really tell that A.F. Kay puts a lot of effort into these books. While its not a hard read, it is very enjoyable and you really can grow to love the characters. I do wish there was more focus on The Shattered Sun and Lir, but the main story is still good. I do feel like the tournament part was very rushed and could have been much more interesting. I really enjoyed this book!

This is my favourite litrpg series and the only problem with Legions Fifth Vault is that I didn't want it to end. Loved being with in this world again and how things are unfolding. Ruwen is continuing to get stronger but that puts him and his friends in more danger. He never feels over powered. The humour is good. Sift is coming over more and more as the dreamy kid you knew at school. Looking forward to the next already.

The 5th book in the series just goes on to highlight the authors strength and how he has properly identified it in his story writing skills. The savage seven, hilarious side quests, awesome friendship showcased and easy to follow story just add on to the beauty of overall series. Looking forward to reading the next in the series.
