I once read a book in second person and it was awful but I didnt realize why until halfway through because of autism. Dropped it immediately

The second person is a bit aggresive, feels like it's appealing directly to the reader constantly and can throw you off the work sometimes. It's usually recommended for short stories only, since it gets tiresome on longer works.

I don't understand what you mean. I don't see how it is any less realistic than before, all you did was exchange a word to put me in the passenger seat instead of a separate character. I honestly have no idea what precisely you are referring to when you say unrealistic. Honestly I think it's just an attachment to convention.
