: Re: Is There a Term or Description For When the Narrator Inserts their Own Personal Perspective Into a Third Person POV? Occasionally I have read stories where the third person Omniscient/Limited

@Harper186

It's a subtle form of the literary device called 'authorial intrusion,' in which the author 'intrudes' on the story and draws attention to him- or herself. For instance, to provide an opinion.
The device has broader reach than sharing opinions. If an author takes time in between chapters to explain in textbook fashion the migratory patterns of whales, that, too, would be authorial intrusion.
