What is Point of View? POV 視角
The narrative style, or point of view (sometimes called the PoV), is the direction from which the story is being told, and the way you’re choosing to communicate that with the reader. In other words, the point of view is what determines “who” is telling the story. Some stories are told from only one character’s point of view, while others are told from many different ones, or even points of view of a narrator who is outside of the story being told.
