The time isn't really anything special. Parakewl got to the same floor while probably climbing with Rak(at least until the workshop battle). Yeon also climbed to the 20th floor in 4 or 5 years I think, while she couldn't control her flames and was afraid of it (even though she's by no means anywhere close to average level Regulars). Even the weaker ones from the 2nd season team are probably significantly stronger than average Regulars at this point, as Prince and even Akraptor made quite an impression when they showed up in Train City. The level of difficulty is probably gonna get significantly higher at certain points. As you could see how the 20th floor was such a hurdle, there are probably some more 'hot spots' like that, but if the story keeps focusing on Baam, it would be quite unbelievable if he struggled in normal Regular's tests. The people around Baam are probably in a good place right now, but if they were to keep climbing like that, most of them would probably completely fall off, as Koon hinted when he was concerned on how they relied  too much on Baam while catching up to the Hell Train.

They'll probably split up very soon and I think that some character's backstory is gonna remain untold, maybe some flashbacks right before they die on the train?
