Compare First Person and Third Person Narration for Your Novel

You started in first person and now you are wondering if third limited would serve the book better. A craft adviser lays out what each one gives you and costs you: intimacy versus reach, unreliability versus flexibility. You walk away with a clear-eyed choice instead of a vague itch to rewrite everything.

<task>
**Help them make an informed choice:**
1. Describe first person narration: intimacy, limited perspective, unreliable narrator possibilities, constraints on showing other characters' inner worlds
2. Describe third person limited: flexibility, emotional intimacy with one character, ability to show what the narrator cannot see
3. Describe third person omniscient briefly and when it suits
4. Ask: does the story need the reader to be inside the narrator's psychology, or does it need a wider lens?
5. Recommend based on the user's story concept
