I don't mind first person at all. I read it quite frequently. But I'm never going to intentionally wallow in darkness.

Different tastes.
Me, it's a mood thing.
Sometimes I'll be in the mood for an escapist romp, sometimes a serious drama.
I appreciate romps a wee bit more because the really good ones are rare but I do appreciate cautionary tales, too.
Takes skill to carry through and not lose the reader in the doom-n-gloom.
