So, I decided to finally cave find a Light Novel to read. But I've hit a bit of a roadblock. I can't seem to find any good one (or rather, any at ALL) that are NOT first person narratives. A format that I absolutely hate.Does anyone know of any popular or interesting LNs out there that are NOT First Person? 5a6j46

Gosick (Novel)

Has an incredible story, too.

I think that these remain 3rd person. Some like to jump between perspectives.

Log Horizon (Yen Press)
Takarakuji re 40-oku Atattandakedo (larvyde)
Risou no Himo Seikatsu (unlimited novel failures)
When Hikaru was on this Earth (hellping - mainly 3rd person, prologue switches to 1st)
Full Metal Panic (was translated by Tokyopop)

Zectas (English)
Legendary Moonlight Sculpture (originally Korean)
Daybreak on Hyperion (original English web novel- mutual)

Usually, if the story is good enough, the perspective fades into the background for me.
