I always use 1st person narrative whenever I write my stories because it allows me to go deep into the narrator/character's head, how they perceive things- their insecurities, their guilty pleasures, their sorrows, their fears, their relief, the list is endless.  1st person narratives give me the freedom to be raw and unexpected in my delivery, i like to shock, excite and scare not in a fright sort of way but in an 'oh my word, i can't believe he said that' -sque. So my main characters tend to be losers, pedants, idiots, low self esteem.paranoid and a bit neurotic. I like these qualities because every one of us has them albeit in different proportions.

so what do you guys prefer as your narrative style

I prefer using the third person.

I like the first person myself, I fell in love with it when I read James hadley Chase's "Miss Shumway Waves A Wand" way back, Keep it up bro, Me Like!

When you use 1st person it seems more truthful. 3d person makes world more wide.

Any style that fits the narrative.
