Why are light novels written in first person?

That's just how things work. Dark novels are written in second person.

Easier to self-insert.

Not all of them are.

not all of them

but for the ones that are it's because well it's about author insertion so why not?

Spice isn't. Index isn't.

All the LNs I've read (2) aren't.

NGNL isn't either.

Most are written at the third person actually
I even read one written at the second person

I want to write a novella in the second person and repeatedly yell at the reader.
"Oh God! How could you do that? What the fuck is wrong with you? You're a real piece of shit." etc

How does that work, the narrator directly talks to you, the reader?

Aren't second persons, people who are engaging the first person?
Like MC's friend who is talking to him...

Second person is when the narrator is describing actions as if the reader is doing them. For example, "You walk down the hallway to your classroom, and you hear the idle chatter of your fellow students around you."
