We all know the best stories are told through the eyes of characters. There can be an overbiew type used but this often distances the reader from the story. There are a number of types of viewpoints. There is the first person where the reader sees only what the character sees. This can be effective and the exposition that follows is shown through what the single character sees. Some writers use the first person with a number of characters.
There is the third person narrator, a viewpoint often used. This allows one character or more to have the spotlight for a time. Here, the exposition must be relevant to what the viewpont character sees. Here there can also be more than one character seeing the world the writer creates. Often there can be just two, especially in roamnce when the hero and the heroine have their say.
When there is no character sharing the viewpoint, the author is telling the story. There is a problem here since the reader has no one to root for or to dislike.
The choice is for the author whether to be all-knowing and telling, a single character telling the story or two or amny characters telling the story and showing through their eyes what is happening and where the characters exist..
