    1. Not sure if I understand you correctly but two types come to mind: Choose-Your-Own-Adventure, and ergodic literature.

      Also, children’s books, come to think of it (eg Tolkien in “The Hobbit” speaks directly to the reader).

    2. I might need some help understanding what you mean. 

      Breaking the fourth wall: the characters, or narrator, are aware they are in a book and address the reader. https://www.reddit.com/r/RomanceBooks/comments/15mio9f/fourth_wall_breaks/

      Second person narration: very rare outside of Choose Your Own Adventure books, this is where the narrator is always talking to “you”. 

      A slight variation of the above: Often, this is not actually “you” the reader, but “you”… As in some character inside the book. The one place where this pops up more often is epistolary novels — novels that pretend to be a collection of letters from the characters. So the “you” is usually the other main character. 

      Do any of the options above capture it, or do you mean something else?
