Five day years are fine, that's six in-game years a month. If you spawn at 13, it'll take about four and a half months to hit forty.
That is plenty of time to play a character before it's time to step out of the spotlight.
I mean, aside from my shitpost suggestion of 365 days a year, I don't think the difference between 5 or 6, or even 7 days per year will change that. What it will do is give people more time to actually play their character during a given year because you'll have an entire week to work with. As it is the year being five days means the year end rotates around the week. 2040 AC ends this Saturday, then 2041 ends the following thursday. A 7 day year would mean the year would always end on a specific day of the week and that helps people plan. Consistency is important for working a hobby into your schedule.
