For me (can't speak for everyone), it's that it then becomes the opposite of immersive for me, which is what I enjoy about reading. I don't care about 'me' the vampire eating souffles and being cranky. I want to read about Betty or Alfred fighting their garlic addiction.

In fic it's a 100% nope for me. In published fiction it's the very rare book in first person I can enjoy. It has to be well written enough that I can overlook that POV.

See, I don't understand this at all, personally. I would have that issue if it was second person (which I legit cannot read, fic or published fiction), but first person is like reading the character's diary. I don't feel as though it's supposed to be "me" at all.

Second person would be worse, but really, I (and maybe I don't read as much as I thought) have never seen second person POV outside of you/character fics so it's pretty easy to avoid for me.

NAYRT: Good second person usually works as a hybrid of first person. "Let me tell you a story about myself."
