Synopsis

Do people chase greatness, or does greatness chase us? A.I. genius, Gengyo, through the assistance of SAPPHIRE attains the means to time travel. He seeks a simpler life, and wishes to experience the warmth of a family. But often we do not get what we want, we get what we deserve. And his peaceful times soon end, as war storms Japan, and in order to protect his peace, he must conquer. Join Gengyo as he walks a blood-stained path toward absolute domination, seizing control of Japan. //Brief extract from one of the battle scenes. Written from the point of view of a samurai landowner, Niwa Nakatane. The hooves grew closer to Nakatane's position and their beating hearts grew faster. Perhaps they could simply remain like that, hiding behind the tree, and allow these barbarians to pass? That way could they not return home to their families? Could they not give their dear wives one final kiss, or share one final story with their enthusiastic youth? Nakatane knew exactly what they were thinking. And as the ground rumbled, and the mounted beasts howled, he was the first man to step out from the trees and make his stand. "OORAH!" Possessed by a furious energy, he thrust out with all the aggression of a war god, puncturing Ochi's stallion through the chest with the sharpened wooden point of his lengthy spear. The mammoth fell from his mount clumsily, his head colliding with a nearby tree root. He ceased to move, and a pool of blood began to form around him. "ARM THESE SPEARS MEN! VICTORY SHALL BE OURS!" He stood in front of the charge of over 150 horsemen, alone. But he did not give a single inch of ground. He met the charge of the next man in line, roaring vengefully, possessed by all the rage and power that had accumulated in his body over these past years. The horsemen shrieked like a pack of hyenas, fanning out, each eager for a piece of the man who had brought down their leader. //I did not create the book cover.

One problem is the paradoxes. For example, the grandfather paradox. If you go back in time and kill your grandfather before he has children, then how can you exist to go back in time in the first place? Another issue is the consistency of time. In some stories, changing one small thing in the past causes huge, unforeseen and often illogical changes to the future. Also, the mechanics of time travel are often not well - defined. Writers sometimes just use it as a plot device without really explaining how it actually works.

Well, in time travel stories, a major problem is the alteration of history. When characters go back in time, they might change significant events, which could lead to a completely different future. But this also raises questions about the fate of the original timeline. Also, time dilation effects are often overlooked. If time travel involves high - speed movement or traveling to different gravitational fields, time should dilate according to the laws of physics, but many stories don't consider this. And finally, the concept of free will in time travel is complex. If the future is already set and time travel is possible, do the characters really have free will to change things, or are they just following a predetermined path?

Paradoxes are common. Like the bootstrap paradox where an object or information has no origin. If a time - traveler gives Beethoven a symphony he composed in the future and Beethoven then publishes it as his own, who really created it? Another problem is that time travel often defies our current understanding of physics. Time is considered a dimension, but the way it's manipulated in stories doesn't usually align with scientific theories.

To deal with the problems, we could make the rules of time travel more explicit. For instance, if the story says that the past is unchangeable, then any attempt to change it would be futile. This would avoid the paradoxes. Also, for the power dynamics problem, we could introduce limitations on time travel. For example, only certain people with special abilities can time travel, and they are bound by strict ethical and physical rules. Regarding the issues with causality, we could use circular causality where events are self - fulfilling. So instead of creating paradoxes, things work in a loop that makes sense within the story's logic.

One problem is the potential for creating plot holes. For example, if a character goes back in time and changes a major event, it can be difficult to keep the rest of the story's timeline consistent. Another issue is character development. Sometimes, in time travel fanfiction, characters may act out of character because the new time - travel situation is not well - integrated into their original personalities. Also, scientific inaccuracies often occur. Time travel concepts are often misrepresented or oversimplified in fanfiction, which can be a turn - off for readers who are more interested in accurate science - fiction elements.
