- I wonder if there are any time-slip works that are depicted from a third-party timeline.
- In most time-slip stories, time flows from the perspective of the protagonist.
- If they travel 50 years back in time, the narrative of the story also goes back 50 years.
- But are there any works where the story progresses in the original timeline of non-time-travelers?
- This would create a disconnect between the protagonist’s knowledge and that of the reader.
- It seems similar to how Neil is perceived by the readers of TENET.
- It seems challenging to make the story interesting in such a scenario.
- Ideas to play with the Relationship between Reader’s Time and Story World’s Time.
