An emotionally weary and burnt out girl from the District of Columbia finds a rare interdimensional train service out of Washington Union Station that sends her to a magical world called Syutsin: "A world where time moves slowly and spirals, deliberately so..."

Inspired by liminal cinematographic styles of Wong Kar Wai's films and Leiji Matsumoto's «Galaxy Express 999» series, with a blend of contemplative and surrealistic fantasy elements: this is a continuous isekai series in episodes. Stories about serenity, quiet longing and introspection following girls who escaped their old lives via the interastral railways, spanning multiple realms. The Syutsin Rail trains unite the lost souls together back to their chosen world. 

This story contains real world references of contemporary events, cultural/regional jokes (Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, Washington DC), and fictious crossover with other series (including: Stardew Valley).

I'm Going Full Grind Mode in the World of Cultivation

190 parts Ongoing

After being transported into a novel, Qin Shu discovers she's just a stand-in, having taken her half-sister's place to enter the world of cultivation. Eight years into her training, her half-sister - born with no spiritual talent - unexpectedly finds her way onto the path of cultivation, and Qin Shu's secret is publicly exposed. Cast out by her sect with only a meager third-level Qi Refinement, she faces a grim fate: her striking beauty makes her an ideal target to be made into a spiritual furnace, doomed to a brief life of torment. As dawn breaks, Qin Shu stares out her window, deep in thought. Her only way forward is to focus on cultivating, sharpening her abilities, and staying ahead of her half-sister. Determined to survive, she waits until the others sleep, then sneaks out to train, embracing the grind. Then, quite by accident, she discovers that moonlight seems to enhance her cultivation....
