What narrative point of view do you prefer in books? 1st person or 3rd person? Share your thoughts here!

I, personally,prefer 1st person narrators. The story is more touching this way, since we see it from the character's point of view :)

I like both but it honestly depends on the writing style... some writing styles work better with third-person narrators and some work better with first-person

It also depends on how many narrators there are, bc if there's more than one pov character but they're all in first-person I will definitely get confused.

I totally agree with what u said about seeing from the character's pov, most of the time when I like a book with a third-person narrator it's the type of writing that still lets you see into their thoughts.

I prefer 1st person because it often flows easier and it allows me to connect to the main character more. It takes a really good writer to pull off 3rd person well.

i prefer first but i’ll read either
