I think it depends entirely on the story being told

first person is great for settings where the MC is a fish out of water, or if their personal experience adds to the worldbuilding (the first chapter of the Hunger Games is an example of the latter off the top of my head)

yeah... I definitely prefer third, but sime stories do work better in first

but third person definitely needs more love, it's nice and flexible which can often be needed in a story - first person is much more limited so it can be challenging to do right

especially since I think in first person, there's a LOT more pressure to make your MC interesting because you're literally in their head

it depends on how much internal dialog the character has... often times, if the author wants the reader to discover things as if they're the character, first person can be good, too

(not to say that you shouldn't make your MCs interesting of course, just that in first person it can be easy to fall into the trap of the character coming off in a way you didn't intend, or being flat because they're just describing things happening)

I as a reader in general prefer 3rd person. this goes for any narrative regardless of age group, unless the structure has constructed a reason (journal, letters, interview etc) for first person

this is not necessarily that they're better, just that I jive with it more

I've been thinking third person myself

I've had it in mind to write a book for years now but I only knew it had to do with the pocket watch my brother found years ago. I'm just now and finally getting around to trying to flesh out a plot
