Sometimes writers try to avoid having the narrator sound too much like a narrator speaking the King's English, by having them write in an informal, more casual dialect. Even when that's the case, however, there's usually one consistency across pretty much all first-person novels: The events in the story are described in more detail than an ordinary person casually relating a story would likely ever give.

* "The Chymist" is a justified variant of this trope: The character is an [[Insufferable Genius]] with an obvious penchant towards [[Large Ham|self-indulgent]] [[Hannibal Lecture|soliloquy]], and hence speaks [[Purple Prose|rather vividly]]. It's even [[Lampshaded]] several times ''by the narrator himself'', as well as his companion.
