Asking here since no one on /pol/ could anwer: What's the deal with the ending of Endymion?

Simp boy finds out the chick cucked him with his past self and she's gonna die in 2 years. But wouldn't the cycle just start again then? Once the 2 years are spent again, they would be at the same point, right?

Please be patient I'm retarded and time travel fuckery is gay and lame.

Ilium is great, but Olympos is such a mess that I can't even recommend Ilium to my friends. The story in Olympos just kind of nonsensically evaporates in the 3rd act. It's a shame, since Ilium is absolutely great.

Yes, it's a retarded ending, because the endymion books are retarded.
He would keep living alone and she would go back in time to die.

maybe obscure is not the proper world. all modern sci fi authors are obscure.
