I completely agree. I would find time loop stories so much more interesting if they actually explored the emotional and psychological after-effects of having been stuck in one. There's so much potential there, but it's almost never explored at all.

When the amount of time spent in the time loop is extremely long, it honestly bugs me a lot that the characters just go right back to being their normal selves afterwards. Shorter time loop episodes are like, okay fine whatever, but you cannot tell me that a character just lived ninety years of days stuck in a time loop and isn't deeply and irrevocably changed by the experience. Lol, no.

Usually with long-term time loop stuff, I tell myself that being in the time loop was essentially like a dream-state that felt real while the characters were in it, but afterwards their memory of it becomes hazy and unreal, and that's why they aren't deeply altered by the experience. But it still kind of bugs me how rarely time loop shenanigans are treated as genuinely traumatic and altering experiences.

I dunno if you're interested fanfic stories, but there's fanfic out there, at least, that goes into the aftermath of being stuck in a time loop. This one, for example: https://archiveofourown.org/works/42126279
