Correct opinion, this is why I wrote my novella in third person
Gabriel Lopez
i also don't like it but i read two books in first person that didn't feel bad
the shadow of the torturer by wolfe
and white noise by delillo
Joshua Wood
It’s a sign of mental weakness and inflexibility. True literature uses free indirect discourse in the third person.
Parker Gutierrez
Wolfe is a good at making his characters narrow views on the world seem wider than they are
Carter Ross

Isaac Nelson
*First person present tense
First person retrospective is kino
Jace Kelly
whats this about?
Carson Wright
It’s about two pilgrims going on a journey, one is a beautiful girl, the other a mishimian schizoid. It’s about his philosophic infatuations and their chaste but horny romance.
Read the description on amazon, it’s A Viennese Pilgrim And Her Guardian
Jayden Morgan
You moron, don't post the cover, post pictures of choice excerpts. No one is going to buy your shit if they can't see your writing

Excerpts, retard, excerpts. I
Camden Lopez
*don't mind me*
Dylan Butler
literally first person narratives are best suited to mentally unwell people like Notes From Underground or Lovecraft
Jack Barnes
Thanks for the advice anons, here you go
Jason Allen
Boring as hell and cliched
Gavin Garcia
>Book switches between first and second person seemingly at random, sometimes referring to the reader, sometimes referring to people in general, sometimes even referring to the narrator with varying tenses in the same paragraph
gao, I kneel....

Based
Isaac Hughes
Too bad. Its philosophy not a novella
Robert Cook
I've been writing in first person and changing it to 3rd person to give the narration a weird keen eye
Nolan Campbell

Henry Collins

Angel Clark

Sebastian Morgan
>Third-person omniscient
>Present tense
The only narrative style that is "instantly-trashed" worthy. First and third person can be done well, but third person in the present just sounds like a movie script, and for whatever reason it curses the mind to write the most mediocre and pedestrian prose, as if it naturally makes you write sparsely, like a screenplay.
Nicholas Bailey
It’s called a journal, not “found footage”
Oliver Gray
>second person
Mason Martin
>free indirect discourse
Do people like free indirect? I write that way on instinct but have been trying to stop because I worry that it seems lazy and frivolous.
Daniel Turner

Caleb Scott
Self publishing killed literature. Should've known from the font on the cover it would be like this.

how do you achieve this level of pretentiousness?
Camden Hill
you just figured out fiction
Juan Jenkins
third person present tense is an insufferable gimmick and i refuse to read a great many books because i cannot stand that. no i will not be taking any questions, thank you.
Cameron Ward
For the most part you're right, but All Quiet On the Western Front is first person kino
Lucas Morgan
Dumbfuck hive mind
Cooper Hughes
The Great Gatsby is first person as well, and it's form the perspective of someone other then the protagonist at that.
Grayson Sullivan
The Great Gatsby is written in first person by a character so beta that it might as wel be third person
Jeremiah Diaz
>all books are first person
Xavier Bennett
some of this is good but there are definitely cliches as the other reply said
William Long
Come to think of it, what's an example of a no-person or zeroth-person book?
Juan Davis

William Martinez
Abstract poetry. is wrong, non-fiction is third person, unless it's autobiographical, in which case it is often first person.
Julian Gomez
Boring, but I appreciate the effort. The second sentence is all about vivacity, but the way it's written is cliché to the point that it erodes all the energy, and it stalls.
Parker Barnes
10/10 if trolling
Xavier Sanchez
Do you know what a transcript is you fucking mongoloid

Christian White
A lot of Haikus
Haikus are most beautiful when unread
Grayson Nelson
i like first person because its like seeing the world through the eyes of the person. you may not understand it but its not about you understanding him/her. i think of it as a different perspective
Thomas Scott
stories told erratically between 2nd and 3rd person, and occasionally 1st.
you WILL obey
James Scott
>third person but brain reads it in first person
Liam James
name three.
Brayden Morales
How does that not also apply to the third person? You're literally seeing the world through the eyes of the author?
Jaxon Wilson
If you think any person, any tense, or any perspective cannot be pulled off, you haven't read enough to be here.
Nicholas Lopez
I have never been convinced by second person.
Julian Fisher
Second-person is where it's at.
Gabriel Anderson
Moby Dick is written in first person.
Jayden Scott
well, what have you read in second person?
