Haha yes. I do this with books too. Read the description then open it up and "dammit!" close it back up.

This is the kind of opinion that tells me the commenter read fic before they read books. First person isn't some weird uncommon thing outside of fanfic. You're just as likely to find a book in first person as third.

NAYRT - I read a ton of original fiction before I read fanfic, and then I read quite a lot of fanfic in first person before the trend shifted strongly to third person. But man, these days it's hard to make myself look past first person, even in original fiction. I just don't like it. I don't like what it brings to the story. I don't like the effect it has on my engagement with the protagonist. I will still read first person original fiction, but it's the opposite of a draw for me.

The idea of someone reading fic before books is so bizarre to me.

First person used to be way more common in kids and YA and rarer in adult books. It seems to be the default in a lot of adult books now.

What time period was this? As far as I can tell, first person has been fairly popular for at least the last 150 years, well before “YA” was a thing.
