Second-person POV is easily the least used, because/so people tend to feel less comfortable reading or writing it.
This POV puts readers into the MC’s shoes vividly (or makes the reader the MC), so if you choose this, the story MUST be one that you want someone to experience in this way.

- who will move the story forward
- which characters readers may care most about
- how much work I want the reader to do
- tone and mood
Sometimes, to know what story you're telling or how to tell it, you have to find out whose story it is.
