I'm just confused about the entire conversation. I read it twice but nothing made sense to me for some reason. Maybe my brain is broken today. Or always. Probably always.
Btw, no info dumps necessary. Just make them cohesive instead of spread across too many chapter. I remember the one time when Amy made info dump - narration - info dump - narration - info dump -. Stream of consciousness is interesting, but makes it hard to follow.
A2 does not like me weaving in details throughout the chapters like traditional horror/mystery/thriller books do. Wants me to info-dump instead. Doesn’t like first person POV either. Wants google POV
First person POV is an excellent choice for horror/mystery/thrillers. It allows the reader to see the world completely through the characters eyes. First person narrators are unreliable, horror/mystery/thrillers use that to their advantage. I write a space opera in third person limited because telling a setting is better that way. Also, A2 likes info-dumps. Blocks of them apparently.
UYScuti -- I write a "whydunnit?" mystery, so keeping it to a very limited POV is a must. Either 1st or a Limited 3rd. Otherwise not a mystery anymore.
Nahrenne -- probably the same reason? Though I am not sure. I felt in your early chapters that there were elements of mystery, though ^^. (Dreams).
Wait, now that I remember. Didn’t you say you had no idea what frontliners were when there were two paragraphs about who they were in the first chapter
