What is it called when a story told from the point of view many characters?

There are a few terms for a story told from the point of view of many characters:

* Multi-POV: This is the most common and straightforward term. It simply means the story uses multiple points of view.

* Multiple Narrators: This emphasizes that each character is telling their own part of the story.

* Omniscient Narrator: This is a specific type of multiple narrator where the narrator is all-knowing and can see into the thoughts and feelings of all characters. It's not always used with every character, but the narrator can switch between different characters' perspectives freely.

* Ensemble Cast: While not specific to narrative point of view, this term describes a story with many characters who are all equally important to the plot. Stories with an ensemble cast often use multiple points of view.

The specific term used will depend on the context and what you want to emphasize. For example, "multi-POV" is a good general term, while "omniscient narrator" is more specific and implies a certain type of narrative structure.
