Reading through D-Genesis which is an extreme example of a LN written from multiple POVs got me thinking about this. I can't think of a single instance where I like the multiple POV type of writing. I enjoy a bonus chapter from a fresh POV well enough, but in the main body I want to follow a single protagonist and I find it tiresome to emotionally adjust to a new protagonist in short order.

What do you all think about this? Are there any LN with multiple POVs that are good?

It can be good when there are multiple groups split up experiencing different parts of the same event. Or when it’s a small chapter giving or commenting on something that has happened from someone else’s point of view.

But I agree for most of the stories I read I prefer just following one person and having the side stories / alternating POV at the end.

When the big Human vs Demon war is happening you see the different battles from people points of view, for some you also get the two opposing sides so you can see their personal feelings on the battle and their emotions.

Death March To A Parallel World rhapsody - I believe there are some small chapters (1-3 Pages) that are just comments/notes from a demon about what’s happening to a superior.
