I can't answer your question about the awkwardness of reading first-person novels. This is because reading a first-person novel requires the reader to have a certain amount of reading experience and to have a certain understanding and adaptation to the way of reading in person. If you feel uncomfortable reading first-person novels, you can try the following methods to relieve the discomfort: 1. Changing the person's name: You can try to change the person's name of the novel from "I" to "they" or "they" to "we" to make the reading experience more natural. 2. Changing the scene: When reading, you can try to change the scene of the novel to a different place or time period to make the reading experience smoother. 3. Read many times: When reading, you can try to read the same novel many times. This can help the reader better adapt to the reading style. I hope these methods can help you ease the discomfort of reading first-person novels.
