Why are young people finding it increasingly difficult to read narrative texts in third person?

I hate first person stories so it might be a generational thing

most people i know irl are the opposite, and feel that 1st person novels are too "restrictive"

Makes you wonder how people told stories to them growing up. Did every narrative they heard from an adult go "So I went to the store in my car... "

Its not that we cant or find it hard to read third person, its just inferior compared to 1st person

I bet it's an effect of the capacities of consciousness people develop depending on their exposure to literature vs oral and visual media. Younger people consume massive amounts of oral and visual media, and very little literature, so their mind is structured in a slightly different way. Third person narration (especially if you look at the history of its development in the form of the novel) is kind of foundational to the kind of mental state that literature creates, where you slowly observe and understand something opaque, like another person's inner monologue, from the outside.

All books are first-person. You are either reading the author's thoughts while he pretends to be a character, or while he pretends to be a god.

if your explanation is 'they're self-absorbed moral failures' instead of 'they've been denied a collective culture' then know i am your eternal enemy

That's so strange, I always heard that third person omnipresent was the easiest book for bad readers to read. I guess first person makes sense since it's literally just like reading a story somebody posted on Reddit or tik Tok or some shit but I always heard it was the hardest to sell because it's the hardest to do well.I prefer writing in first person and have been trying to write in 3rd person instead because that's what I've always seen people say it's the PoV that sells. Is that just completely false now?

I never bothered thinking about this, but do we have a book that is entirely written in second person (apart from self-help bullshit)

Anon07/28/26, 21:04No.25430015
Is this a thing?
I feel like third person is by far the best/easiest way to create in your head a scene and watch the story unfold
Like what are we even talking about here, are people unironically self-inserting?

Third person narratives are far superior to first person ones. Only narcissists would disagree (which is probably what 90% of the "people" with this "problem" are)

I only read books written in third person. First person isn't immersive unless a diary.

My theory is that the 1st person narrative is reminiscent of video games and every zoomer is obvs familiar with that.
