I wasn't fully drawn into this light-hearted time machine caper at first, and briefly considered DNFing, but given it was relatively short decided to stick with it and, overall, it was worthwhile 3.75 ⭐
The chrononauts are a group of uni students in Kyoto who find the time machine in their apartment building and use it to go to the previous day to stop an air conditioner remote control being damaged. So, no travels to epic historical events, ⬇️

Bookwomble ... but due to typical timeline paradoxes, the fate of the universe is at stake!
Amusing and easy to consume as a light course.
