How do we feel about 3rd person pov's ?

[Raven]

I tried one book with 3rd person's pov and ended up DNF-ing it after struggling with it for days on end. I just couldn't get on with the story. it didn't click for me. the plot was not that bad but the POV just made it impossible to read.

Anyway, my personal favourites will forever be dual POVs but I am fine with a single person's too for the entire book.

also multiple pov's just make my head hurt and I really don't enjoy or follow along the book when it has more than 3 pov's

I have read a lot of 3rd person books and I like them. I don't really have a preference tbh. I'll read 3rd person or 1st person, I don't mind.

I enjoy but I prefer the first person pov

* I enjoy it

I read a few books with the 3rd person pov and in my opinion Is good, but I prefer an infinite times more the 1 st person pov (dual pov), love to know what they are feeling about a situation or in general.

I mean it honestly depends. if it is written well then I love it but if it doesn't make any sense then I don't. I usually enjoy it though.

I'm mostly confused while reading 3rd person

[Preeti]

I totally agree but sometimes it is so well executed that it is no trouble

[maelyn !]

its tolerable, i wouldn't choose it over first person.

I prefer 1st POV, but if it's well written I don't mind

It depends. For example, romance books hit better in 1st person POV cause you know exactly what they’re feeling, but let’s say… fantasy can be better in 3rd person cause it’s richer, the “know-it-all” narrator gives space to more explanations and world info (if executed right).

I don’t mind, as long as it’s well written.

Personally I dont mind either. I prefer first but third is sometimes a nice break. What I dislike is present tense (past tense is so much better) but majority of romance writers write in present tense (to my demise.)

I honestly don’t even notice the pov lol I’m fine with both

Oooooh give some recs for it please. i want to try again

[grace rose]

i personally LOVE third person, especially in lit fics and/or historical fictions. romance is ALWAYS better in first person / dual pov but i do absolutely adore third person now and again

[Alds ♡]

It depends on the story. I've read books with 3rd pov, and so far, I love them as long as the story is captivating. but I still prefer 1st pov

[Jessie]

Personally I don’t mind 3rd person but sometimes it is hard to understand and I would rather read in 1st pov

[kenz]

I kinda like third person but I’m definitely more of a 1st person kinda gal

[Mihaela]

I love 3rd persons pov!! but this only if the author does not make his presence felt
