I think this time loop element that Isayama has introduced is completely unnecessary too, but it does not break the story in the way you seem to be implying. The only huge issue with the Attack Titan's ability to see the future is that it seems like a staggeringly redundant ability to have since the future cannot be changed, and it seems like the ability only ever works when the Attack's user is in contact with a member of the royal family. That, and there was absolutely no foreshadowing of the Attacker having such an ability, so this ability well and truly feels like something Isayama made up on the spot. It does not really hurt the series in any other way. The timeloop only exists as a plot twist to surprise readers (I agree that it is completely unneeded and convoluted plot twist), and it really does not have any bearing on the plot besides that.

There!! Now is that so freaking difficult for everyone to understand? That is why I don't take Isayama as seriously as the rest of yhr fandom. Let me disagree with his choices because frankly he could've done a lot of things better. Well, I still think you are being too harsh on it, though. Like I said, this one plot twist (even though it is convoluted and poorly set up) does not ruin the series or even ruin this one arc. It certainly drags down the quality of the chapter it is in, but it's not completely series-breaking.
