The corresponding numerators are given by A250328(n+1), n >= 0.
Twice the positive pentagonal numbers are A049450(k+1) = (k+1)*(3*k+2), k >= 0.
For the general case V(m,r;n) = Sum_{k=0..n} 1/((k + 1)*(m*k + r)) = (1/(m - r))*Sum_{k=0..n} (m/(m*k + r) - 1/(k+1)), for r = 1, ..., m-1 and m = 2, 3, ..., and their limits see a comment in A294512. Here [m,r] = [3,2].
The limit of the series is V(3,2) = lim_{n -> oo} V(3,2;n) = (3/2)*log(3) - Pi/(2*sqrt(3)) = 0.74101875088505561179... given in A294514.

FORMULA
EXAMPLE
The rationals V(3,2;n), n >= 0, begin: 1/2, 3/5, 77/120, 877/1320, 6271/9240, 36049/52360, 36423/52360, 422137/602140, 49691099/70450380, 1448086909/2043061020, ...
V(3,2;10^4) = 0.7409854223(Maple, 10 digits) to be compared with 0.7410187513 from V(3,2) given in A294514.
