So this is the final stretch before the X-Men world changes dramatically with the start of the Krakoa Era.
Vol. 507- New Mutants: Dead Souls
[This story is important because it will lead to some Uncanny X-Men events later on. Also, if you pay close attention, some characters appear on a single panel in Astonishing X-Men v4 #17.]

Uncanny X-Men v5 #1-10
Uncanny X-Men v5 Annual #1 (2019) [Flashback issue]
[After this point, most X-Men characters go on to appear in the Age of X-Man reality, while other events continue to occur in the "real world". I will place the Age of X-Man volume closer to the point where those characters return to the "real world". It makes more sense to me.]

Vol. 522 - Age of X-Man
[Some issues are split into two (or even three) parts towards the second half of this volume because there are a lot of events that affect multiple series.
Also, Age of X-Man occurs in parallel to Uncanny X-Men v5 #11 to 21, and it actually overlaps for a bit in #21. In my opinion, it doesn't make much sense to mix Age of X-Man stuff with Uncanny X-Men stuff, so I opted to place Age of X-Man before the last arc of Uncanny X-Men.]
