Is there a single novel that does timetravel right?
I have a friend who believes that one of the reason videogames are an artistic medium is because it is the first medium that told a good time-travel story, and was successful in doing so because of the interactive nature of the story. Is he right?

depends on what you mean by "doing timetravel right"

Timetravel tales that aren't inconsistent, paradoxical, and also shit.
I agree, Undertale is the first story to do time travel right.

..Undertale isn't about time travel, though?I still respect Undertale by itself because I can't tell if the writer is a talentless hack or a genius, because I can't tell if the point of "Killing everyone and being a Pacifist is equally terrible" was intentional or unintentional.Everyone missed it anyway.

The main character literally goes back in time when they die.How is being a pacifist as bad as killing everyone? Just curious.
>>8263425Because many "good" characters are written to be terrible unlikable people who ride off the coat tails of your pacifism, such as Alphys and Toriel, and many tragic characters end up continuously suffering with their problems unfixed, such as Sans and Flowey. In Genocide, however, those who deserve to die end up dying, and those who suffer are put out of their misery. The only difference between the endings is that the good+suffering and evil+thriving either leaving the cave.. or leaving the cave.In the neutral endings, where your decisions are less extreme, the world they live in actually changes.
