Hey /lit/ so what do you prefer reading? First person stories or third person? How do you feel it impacts your ability to enjoy a book?

Personally when its first person and the protagonist is female or otherwise nonhuman its hard to get invested.

I don't know, it's been years since I've read SCP stories, and I've only ever read a couple. Don't remember the titles.

I prefer my creepypasta to not be obviously fiction.

009
032
056
086
089
093
096
140
178

Some of them are just interesting in the rigour with which they follow their own internal logic

I usually don't care about first or third person, but first person and present tense together are enough for me to skip a book altogether.

First-person AND preset tense? LAWD.

Awkward to read. Try-hard.
How many published books really do this? Only a few for sure.
