A narrative structure used in content creation and online storytelling where you follow a character's entire emotional or situational journey strictly from their own first-person perspective — no omniscient insight, no outside validation, just the raw internal experience of going through something. Pov arc is beloved in fanfiction, TikTok series, and serial content because it locks the audience into one headspace and makes every revelation land harder. It's intimate, subjective, and often used to track transformation over time from the inside out.
The whole series is a pov arc from the perspective of the sidekick and honestly it hit different than any main character story would have.
