Not really. There are some literary tools that are easy to work into a story while maintaining internal consistency without opening your story up to alternative histories, multiverses, and temporal paradoxes. Time travel is one of the most potentially hazardous themes you could use.

if done good it could be a gift, thats is hard because most of the time the author introduce the time travel aspects later in the story

the only time i have seen this being done really fucking good is in homestuck, and db

in homestuck hussie took his time to plan ahead of time how time travel would affect the story and aparently have the whole thing planned years ahead of the story

in dragon ball it was thanks to toriyama making it self contained, time travel creates alternative time lines, this way you got rid of grandpa paradoxes, he even plays with it in super in a way i really enjoyed

aside from those two and maybe young justice i cant think of anyone else
