Narratortype in this story:
extradiegetic:
heterodiegetic:
overt: In this version of the novel we find the simulated dialogue with the audience, f.ex in the question on page 2: Why was it that Chai Jin was displeased with Wu Song? But we do not have an explicit reference to the storyteller as the narrator, such as is found in the Rongyu tang edition, right before the question mentioned here. Therefore the narrator is less overt in the present text. But the fact that the text has obvious simulated dialogue with the audience is the reason why I analyse this narrator as overt, in stead of covert.
