So you have a comic or a novel that you just published and you reached the third sequel but now you hate everything about the second book. What do you do? Well a [[Story- Reset]], of course! This trope is used often to do a ''[[Soft Reset]]'' of current events in order to do them over or change the outcome of the 'current' time line.
 
This trope allows you to go back a few pages or even a novel or two and rewrite the story after it has already been seen or published and either replace it with a brand new story or to change the original outcome while not being forced into doing a full [[Continuity Reboot]]. Basically keeping the previous stories and merely changing/rewriting the most current.
Line 7:
 
Sometimes can overlap with [[Continuity Reboot]] in some ways, although a Continuity Reboot will often wipe out ''all'' of the current story and goes back to square 1; a Story Reset only wipes it back so far to a particular point saying previous stories are still cannon and can sometimes cause [[Ret-Gone]] when characters introduced after a certain point are no longer present.

* ''[[Trinton Chronicles]]'' has done this more then once in it'sits long running history; whole story arcs have been eradicated and replaced or the current story has been erased to a point and picked back up.
