I’ve made posts like this before but I think time loop stories are some of the most concentrated essences of the nature of a story having a narrative function. A time loop story takes the fact that any story can be reread, rewatched, relistened to forever without ever changing the end, and makes that a literal function of the story, the infinite repeatability becoming the driving factor. And then the story says “but what if the infinite repeating cycles did change? What if it was possible to get it right, to break the loop, to free yourself from the narrative? What if the universe (the reader, the author) wants you to get it right, no matter the cost?”
