Hey so uh, I might be able to work on this now. So I was wondering, did y'all want me to keep the old perspective -First Person- or use a different perspective, like third or second person?
Just wanted to know since I've been doing other perspectives more recently in my other popular work.
I'll leave a poll below, but just in case y'all don't see it, I'll also accept comments.
What Is The Main Perspective You Want In Future Chapters?

I know this is over a year old, but second person is by far the hardest thing to write and also a bit awkward to read, there's a novel on Royal Road where Apollyon from For Honor reincarnates as a sister of Cersei and James Lanister It's all written in the second person, and it's good, but it's very strange to read.
Yeah, I've seen a couple myself, they're all very... interesting.
@señor The issue is that they have to be well written because if you don't get lost, also, even if they are well written, you still get lost because your mind can't stand speaking in the second person (even though you're reading, you're speaking in your mind) and you get tired brain.
What I like the most is the third person, mainly because that's when authors really learn to write, because if they don't:
Rick: How's your day? (Smile).
Morty: Too bad (Pouts).
And the truth totally takes you out of the immersion, that well-written conversation (more or less, I'm not a writer) would be like this:
"How's your day?" Rick asks with a smile.
As he pouts, Morty replies "Too bad."
Obviously it can be done much better but you have to have more context of the situation, in the first person it's the same just thinking about it from the perspective of a character.
But thinking about that conversation in the second person is impossible for me.
@Belisario Honestly nowadays that I know how to write properly, I prefer writing in third person too, but I understand there's a certain appeal to first person, though it is hard to make fight scenes flow when you have to account for the characters reaction time, rather than just writing what is happening.
Hi! Just chilling here.
Alright.
Next chapter will be done in the same style as the last ones.
