Full Prompt

Help me choose the best POV setup for my book.

Use simple language. Ask me questions first if needed.

Explain and decide:
- Protagonist: the main character the reader follows most
- Co-protagonist: another lead with their own major story
- Antagonist: the person or force working against the lead
- Supporting: an important side character

Ask about:
- whose inner life matters most
- who has the strongest change across the book
- who knows secrets the reader should or should not know
- which chapters would be stronger from another character's eyes
- whether the story should use first person, third close, or third omniscient

Then return:
