First Person Web Novels

First-person novels on Tellura are told from inside the protagonist's head. Sharp voice, limited but intimate viewpoint, narrators who can be wrong or hide things from the reader. Pairs naturally with unreliable-narrator, diary-format, and psychological.

The trade is intimacy for reach: you get the voice, and you lose everything the narrator does not see or will not admit. That limitation is a feature, most unreliable-narrator novels are first-person because the form makes the lie possible. Pairs with diary-format and present-tense when the immediacy matters most.
