but if she killed her past self, wouldn't that mean she would disappear?

 

[Erys]

Nah, multiverse theory.

 

[Nihilism]

Kinda like the anime, future dairy.

 

[TroubleFait]

If she killed her past self she kind of is one of her betrayers...

 

[Maze_Runner]

MC is betrayed by her family, returns to the past, kills her past self to replace her, and starts plotting revenge while pretending to act nice towards her betrayers.

Sounds like you have it all planned out. Have fun!

but if she killed her past self, wouldn't that mean she would disappear?

Wait . . .

 

[Minx]

but if she killed her past self, wouldn't that mean she would disappear?

Ah good ol paradox

 

[Southdog]

That sounds like a very complicated murder-suicide

 

[Viator]

No parent trap type shenanigans! *Sigh* Disappointing.

*Edit: Also with multiverse theory this COULD be a universe in which she never was betrayed. Technically she's getting vengeance on people who don't deserve it, at least not yet.

I don’t think it follows that plot, but @Paul_Tromba has a time travel story

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it doesn't follow that plot but thanks for the shout-out. It is a time travel story with supernatural elements in it.

MC is betrayed by her family, returns to the past, kills her past self to replace her, and starts plotting revenge while pretending to act nice towards her betrayers.

Kills her past self how? Unless it's via soul-overwrite or something of the sort, this creates a causality paradox.

 

[Asami_Shirogane]

You just created a causality/Grandfather's Paradox right there. Maybe if the FMC killed herself in an alternate universe, perhaps it might work.

 

[Erys]

I remember reading the one where a maid ended up dying because she saw the FMC killing the alternate FMC and the FMC didn't like that but I forget the title.

 

[TroubleFait]

Causality paradox only works if the time traveler already traveled to the past before they did it. If the past is just a save file you're rewriting by traveling back to it, then causality hasn't anything to say to you about it.
