[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

Authors often use transition words and phrases in narratives to navigate the twists and turns of a plot. These transitions help to smoothly connect different ideas, events, or scenes within the story, making it easier for readers to follow along and understand the progression of the plot. Transitions can also be used to build suspense, create tension, or indicate a shift in time or perspective. While they can occasionally be used to compare and contrast characters, this is not the primary purpose of using transition words and phrases in narratives.
