Point of View
In every story there is a lens through which a reader looks at the world.
It is the point of view. The author allows the reader to see and hear what's going on. Skillful authors fix the readers' attention on exactly the detail, opinion, or emotion needed to emphasize the story, manipulating its point of view.
Daimones comes in first-person point of view. Dan, the main character, narrates the story. You get to hear his thoughts and see the world through his eyes.
However, remember that Dan cannot have complete self-knowledge or, for what matters, complete knowledge of anything.
It's your role to go beyond what Dan says...

Point of view can be fun to decide. Whether to have them telling you the story or if you take the reader on a ride from outside the character

Hi, Lisa. Indeed. On the sequel for Daimones, "Once Humans", I need to expand the 1st person point of view. I have found an innovative way to still be 1st person, and add some omniscient capabilities too. It will truly be fun: it already is giving me a higher flexibility and more richness in scenes and dialogues.
Gotta love when it teaches you more when you write something
