Please vote between 3rd or 1st person.

Past tense, omniscient 3rd Person POV. Nobody wants to read limited anymore, and both third-person limited and first-person POV are limited in their own way. People no longer want to use their brains to speculate or wait for your crumbs of information to make sense. They want the authors to slap the information in their faces right away.

If we're talking SH and web novel readers, yes. If we're talking about people who spend money on books to read in its entirety at once, no. Depends on the demographic. I'm not publishing until it's finished so there will be no day to day waiting in between (which is why people hate crumbs because having to wait for the next chapter sucks).

You have a point yes, but like Anon noted above, depends entirely on the demographic. I myself, as a traditional reader first rather than a web novel reader, quite enjoy "Using my brain to speculate" as well as "Wait for [the author's] crumbs of information to make sense." As you put it.
However, I can emphasize with Web novel readers, who would prefer "Authors slap the information in their faces" as you put it.

It depends on the story, but usually third person is your safest bet, as it allows for more details, head-hopping etc. Even first person is often used in a more omniscient way, to get the benefits of third person with the self-insertion of first person. This last one is what I personally went for in my last story, which can make sense in a progression fantasy, but for all of my other stories, I've used third person

I know what you mean. Hence it has to be first person past tense, as in the 1st person can narrate what happened as he remembers. 3rd person written in present tense means things unfold as it goes.

Naahhh give me second, i want to get knocked TF-ed out!

So I’ve finally finished my outline and I’m going to take a short break before writing a story.

Please vote for your preference. The vote will determine the perspective I’m going to take on a project I am going to write.

there are only two choices, when the poll closes in 3 days it will be the final choice.

Story will focus a lot on in depth thoughts about Justice, natural philosophy and action vs inaction.

It will follow one main character through most of it so the two options represent a more intimate perspective, it’s just I can’t decide which one to take.

Be unexpected, narrate with 2nd person: "you look at etc"

2nd person would make it seem like a 'choose your own adventure' style of writing. That would be difficult unless there were a bunch of branching endings.

 

[Ranty-cat]

I recommend fourth wall breaking.

Looks like 3rd person will win
