I Could Write An Essay Or Smthsmth About My Love For 3rd Pov But GOSH IS IT LATE HERE AGAIN - Tumblr Posts

Feel free to answer or tag your reasons why!

Personally, I like 3rd POV as it enables the author to explore different kind of characters seamlessly if done right! I just love seeing different perspectives so much as i want to explore the characters deeply. I mean, sure, 1st POV could do that too! But without often/frequently changing POVs (typically thru next chapters). Maybe this is a personal taste, but I don't like the frequent switching of POVs; I'd like it to be consistent of some sort. I dunno, personally it disrupts the immersion for me? Idk qwq Wherein in 3rd POV, there are some transitionary devices/words that allow authors to further srive the point that "we're exploring this one now" seamlessly, and if done right, is satisfying.

Personally, with 3rd POV, it enables the author to further explain the intent of the character — the way they move, and possibly think, and describe the surroundings even more.

I know that 1st POV is limited since we follow the protagonist's narration, which can be interesting in its own aspect! (and i know it can describe their surroundings still and establish some stuff). But I simply just prefer the versatility of 3rd POV.
