I think maybe it feels too much like transparent wish fulfillment fantasizing which gives me so much squicky vicarious embarrassment that even when it isn't I can't get past the association.

But what if the actual canon work IS written in first person?

Yeah I have a hard time with first person in canon too. The only kind of exceptions to my aversion is something that really draws me in and usually only autobiographies, plots that make great use of an unreliable narrators, narrators from cultures/eras (not forward in time though) not my own, or when it's addressed to the audiences and still even then I have squirmy moments.

Eta: maybe it has something to do with reminding me there is an actual person author behind the book and makes it harder for me to immerse in the world without analyzing the author?

OT: I can't remember what that horrible choose your own adventure reader's perspective thing is called but I hate that so much more.
