>>21939545Writing as you see it on this general began with choose-your-own-adventure story threads (later called quests) on /jp/ and /tg/. These by necessity were 2nd person POV and involved an OC protagonist who acted as the audience surrogate. The format stuck as the preferred way of writing here over 12 years ago and hasn’t gone away since.
That said, there’s 0 rules against regular third person prose, or chuubaxchuuba romance. If you write and anchor something like that, it will get archived and read by anons.
