One advantage is that it can create a more personal and engaging narrative. When a character tells the story, readers can get a closer look into the character's thoughts, feelings, and motives. For example, in 'The Great Gatsby', Nick Carraway as the narrator allows us to see the events from his perspective, which adds depth to the story. Another advantage is that it can add authenticity. Since the character is living in the story world, their account may seem more believable. Also, it can create suspense. The character might not reveal everything at once, keeping the readers hooked.

Writers can start by making the character narrator distinct. Give them a unique voice, like a particular dialect or speech pattern. For example, if it's a character from the South, use Southern drawl in their narration. Also, ensure the character has a clear perspective. This could be based on their background, beliefs, or experiences. Another tip is to use the character's narration to foreshadow events. Drop little hints here and there through their words.

Dialogue can reveal character. Through what characters say and how they say it, we can learn about their personalities, motives, and relationships. For example, in 'Pride and Prejudice', the conversations between Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy show their initial misunderstandings and growing attraction. Dialogue can also move the plot forward. When characters discuss plans or make decisions in their dialogue, it drives the action of the story.
What is the term or literary device that lets the reader know who is telling the story?

It's called the narrative voice. When a story is told in the first - person, like in 'I went to the store', it's obvious that the character who says 'I' is the one telling the story. If it's third - person, such as 'He walked down the street', we know it's an outside narrator. Different voices can create different effects. A first - person voice can make the story more personal and subjective, while a third - person voice can seem more objective.
