When am I going to start -really- learning?

So, hey.
I've been playing this game for a month or so now. I love it. I love everything about it. I even bought Sunless Sea, and while the gameplay tired me out fairly quickly, I loved that as well -- not the least because I got to learn way more about the setting than I previously had in Fallen London (granted, there were still a ton of questions that were just left unanswered -- like what is going in Wisdom? Why does the cook want to go there? What's the deal with the sigils? What's the connection between snakes and dreams? etc.)
My base stats at the moment are Watchful 59/Shadowy 56/Dangerous 41/Persuasive 62. The only reason Persuasive is so high is because of the Melancholy Curate's story -- and honestly speaking, I didn't really learn a whole lot of juicy info by doing that. I'd prefer to have raised Watchful first, but as with all of the starting areas, I ran out of storylines at around 40-50. I recently unlocked The Flit, The Forgotten Quarter, and The Shuttered Palace. I'm waiting till all my skills are at 60 before visiting them in earnest.
So, I guess, having said that, I've got two questions:
When do I start to actually discover things? All I've got so far is things that leave me with more questions.
Is there a way to further raise my skills without endless grinding? As near as I can tell, I've run out of storylines in all of the starting areas so it's getting pretty boring.

Echoing what Sara Hyaso said above, the Forgotten Quarter (and other new locations, but especially the Quarter) are places where the plot begins to pick up. Once your stats are a bit higher, the archaeological quest leads to quite a bit more lore (and stories with even more). There are seasonal events with more lore (like Halloween, Christmas, Valentine's Day, and an end-of-the-summer festival), and there's plenty more in the Ambitions. If you're curious about specific things, feel free to message me.
