No worries! I take your comments in the spirit of discussion the way I think they are intended and I hope you do the same.
For my first paragraph comment, it has to be spectacular because that is the only way I "forget" it is in first person. Otherwise, I am paying too much attention to POV and get distracted by thoughts like, "This is totally not how I would think" or "these thoughts make no sense" or whatever. I can't as easily fall into the storytelling as you indicate above. For third person, I am not so stringent because it is easier for me to parse between the character and my thoughts/feelings.
I generally comment on all stories I finish and kudos them on AO3 to interact in fandom spaces as you indicated you also like to do, but as said, if I am thrown out in the first paragraph, then I never reach the end to comment. So third person is what I will comment on more.

But yes, interesting discussion!
