Time comes together in threads, strands. If one were to examine a single thread, they could see several years, perhaps even decades into the future, but it would be very inexact - more like a vague feeling. As one keeps coming towards present time, the threads coalesce into strands, and the strands weave together etc., and you can see more and more, and eventually they all form into present time, present reality.
There's no such thing as entire new timeline being created at every possible decision point. There are more and more threads of possibilities the further into future you look, but as you keep coming towards present time, they either get pruned or join together with other threads.
However, certain entities learned to manipulate time. They can generate enough new threads close enough to present they are able to maintain several thick strands of time concurrently. Then they pick the strand they like the most, and discard all the others. Perhaps this makes the present less vibrant than it would otherwise be in it's untampered, natural state but these entities think this drawback is worth the ability to avoid events which would be catastrophic for the world.
MC is someone who learned a cabal of these puppetmasters exists and for some reason sets out to destroy them.
