So I'm currently writing something that hasn't been posted on this website or another for that matter. It's dark fantasy as the thread title suggests and I'm sort of stumped on how I should approach it.
At first, I thought it would be better to write in the first person from multiple perspectives because, at least for me, it seemed I lot more effective, especially when trying to get across the gritty and dark side of a fantasy world which dark fantasy is known for, and I'm sort of more comfortable with writing in that perspective as a whole, and I'm not great at the third person writing I just can't seem to make it interesting enough without making it sound boring.
However, the problem is that I'm currently having was when realized that I would have to write battle scenes in a first-person perspective. Now, this isn't so bad that if I was only writing this story from one character's point of view, but as I said earlier I decided to write it from multiple characters' perspectives.
Anyway to get to the gist of this post should 1) just keep it first person and multiple character perspectives 2) limit me to my main character's perspective 3) should I just write battle scenes in third person, but keep the rest of the story in first person or 4) just go full third-person story-telling?
If there are any other suggestions, feel free to let me know down below! And thanks in advance for any help given.
