hm, after replaying from the beginning with new narration changes - not sure i'm a fan of this weird decision
not only it goes against usual and familiar approach, it also add some confusion when narration revolves around MC - line between "you" the MC and "he" original body owner is no longer there, now it's all "he"
Hehe, I know.
In Chapters 1 and 2, there might be some confusion between the MC and his predecessor, since both are referred to as 'he.' However, later on, I won’t mention the predecessor much anymore, so this issue should go away.
Honestly, I really wanted to use second-person narration because it creates a strong sense of immersion, but after much consideration, I decided to abandon that style.
The reason is that it imposes the MC’s thoughts and decisions on the player, which can sometimes feel uncomfortable. You know, a decision that seems good to one person might feel like shit to someone else. By switching to third-person narration and reducing the sense of role-play, I think the experience will be much more comfortable for the players.
There’s another way to keep second-person narration while minimizing its impact on the player’s experience, which is to offer many choices so the player can make decisions for themselves. However, that would lead to a branching storyline that’s way too complex (and the game is already very long), so I had to keep things simple and switch to third-person narration.
Hope you understand, bro
