The most unpleasant thing about that novel was that fixing things made it infinitely worse.

"The Big Time" by Fritz Leiber. The Change War is being fought on every planet in the universe from the moment of the Big Bang to the end of time. Two sides, the Spiders and the Snakes, are trying to rewrite history for their own purposes. The Law Of Conservation of Reality states that Time will oppose any change, so you have to fight the same battles over and over and over in order to get any changes.

Fun book.
