ah, i suspected there was some prejudice against first-person fics. a commenter once told me that they almost didn't read my fic because it was in first person :/
i sort of see why, but then again i don't. i am heavily influenced by my favourite author, kazou ishiguro, and he always writes in first person. so ehhh, i'll keep writing first person until it gets a better reputation.
i wouldn't go as far as not to click at all, but usually you can tell after the first two paragraphs if it's readable or not. tbh i would tab out of a third person self-insert fic just as quickly as i'd tab out of a first person one. it's not the perspective that's bothering me (given that it is well-written) but that the majority is usually a horrible mess
