Neither of these really feel like Kaladesh to me. That being said, I really want Read a Short Story to be an instant-speed spell with "You may put a Saga enchantment card from your hand onto the battlefield. Sacrifice it at the beginning of the next end step." so that it feels like you're just getting part of a story.

oops i misread that as "interesting things to do with enchantment — class"

That's what the parens were for, trying to separate the two clauses.

Murder on the Aradara Express 1GB
Enchantment - Saga
1: Put a deathtouch counter on target creature you control. (Willingness to kill)
2: Until end of turn, creature spells you cast cost 2 less. (Cars are loaded)
3: Until your next turn, players can't cast creature spells (Room is locked)
4: Each creature you control deals damage equal to its power to target creature you don't control. (Spoilers for a 80+ year old book, I guess)

IIW: Turn a story from the real world into a saga in mtg (You must translate it to MTG as best as you can, no fair just putting Iron Man 3 as a saga)

I like the idea of this using flavor wording like AFR. I'm not sure if you intended that with the parentheticals or just wanted to make sure I understood the chapters, but either way, I enjoyed it on top of this just being a home run entry.

As an additional cost to cast Derail, sacrifice a land.
Destroy up to one target creature, up to one target artifact, and up to one target land.

IIW: "roll a d20"

I'm concerned that you consider derailing a train a "thing to do on a train". Ideally if you're derailing it, you're off the train? This is probably fine on-rate since both players are down a land, even if you're definitely caching your worst land in for their best.

When Yahenni's Party enters the battlefield, search your library for a planeswalker card, reveal it, put it into your hand, then shuffle.
WUBRG: You may play target Planeswalker card from your graveyard without paying its mana cost.
At the beginning of your upkeep, if you control a Chandra, Nissa, Liliana, Jace, and Gideon planeswalker, you win the game.

IIW: Graveyard mechanics.

I get that this is a 5-color enchantment, but being able to just jam planeswalkers from your graveyard is very strong, and you've definitely already won if you control 5 planeswalkers.

This would probably be two separate abilities fully written out as opposed to a modal cost structure like this, but otherwise this is fine.

I'm generally not a fan of shroud or hexproof on noncreature permanents. I'm also not a fan of them on creatures, but at least they can usually be interacted with in combat. The complete lack of counterplay just isn't compelling to me. From a cost perspective, this is probably fine without shroud, though.

This is pretty neat! The food to card draw ratio feels a bit steep, since you have to either triple-spell or double-spell three turns in a row to draw a card, but I get that you don't want to just be constantly churning out Food tokens.

Not translating it to magic (IE making the story specific references to the real world refer to magic stuff), but a very good detailing of the story in saga form, if a little long.

This is good, since it's clearly Romeo and Juliet (1996, dir baz luhrmann), the story beats play out like the movie very well, and it's not keeping the realworld stuff. I like it!

I like how this parallels the book, though mothra doesn't have mutate normally, so you'd have to do a little more with that final chapter to do it.

All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Odd that sacrificing the last construct makes you draw cards here, but I guess Decker did get a reward at the end of the book.

I like the flavor words to help understand the story, but again, these aren't rewritten to be mtg related. Still, I can't fault you for adapting two majorly influential detective books as sagas. I really like the design and flavor in everything.
