I readily admit to disliking present tense fiction, primarily because it is illogical. If a story exists, someone wrote it down in the past. It is not happening now and to pretend it is makes it less believable. Nor does it serve any purpose, as far as I ever been able to tell.
I will also admit one tends to not notice it after a while. So, again, it serves no actual purpose.
Now don’t get me started on second person storytelling. That’s a far more heinous writing crime.
