I like books with autistic attention terminology and detailed world building. That said first person is for women, third is for men.

I think first person narration, limiting oneself to one perspective, is also difficult to get right. Third person doesn't really matter. The author can freely choose what to include and it will not seem out of place or uncalled for. With first person, you have to deal with unreliability.

I think the benefits of first person doesn't really matter. Want to follow one character? 3rd person limited gets you 95% of it, plus you get a lot more flexibility to look through other POVs or include random shit.
The real conversation should be third limited vs third omniscient

the scope has nothing to do with the pronouns used, you can do third person limited too. but first person is just disgusting

Both are difficult for different reasons obviously, but I tend to agree that limiting to one perspective is actually easier. Weirdly I think people will often feel the opposite is the case. Whereas to me it seems to obvious that the constraints give a much clearer vision and scope.

>Third person doesn't really matter.
Not true. One must always ask: who is narrating these events, these thoughts? Whose voice are we hearing? What role does this entity play?

First person is for people that have no imagination or ability to write like >>24776903 said
