Someone explain to me why all these new adult novels are written in present tense.

I hate these globohomo book covers like you wouldn't believe

I'll always keep writing, anon. I've got a few publications so far but when I see shit like this it breaks my heart. These people poured their souls into something and it was actually good and it was actually unique. It was the kind of writing that lights a fire in you and makes you want to shake their hand and vow to write something even better. It makes you excited for the fiction of tomorrow. Just fantastic fucking writing. And what did they get for it? Completely fucking shit upon by these seething hivemind NPC drones who are terrified of anything remotely new or genuine or different and who will almost certainly never write anything good in their lives because of it. They're the reason literature looks like this today. Nothing stands out. Nothing has soul. Nothing requires any effort to read because it took no effort to write. No respect for the language. No respect for the art. No respect for the reader. I hate modern literature.

It's amazing how easy New Adult books are to read. The prose, characters, plots, ideas are so generic and bland that I can comprehend an entire page in ten seconds. Add to this the standard large font-size and I can read one complete in a couple of hours.
