Hmmm, I think the perspective is actually 'current' after the first few chapters. Nevertheless, you're probably right on using the past-tense given the tense conflicts between when MC is describing the present or describing what's done.

Regarding this edit: http://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/index.php?title=Sword_Art_Online%3AVolume_1_Chapter_8&diff=56402&oldid=56398 Care to educate me why you believe past-tense should be used for everything? Given the first-person storytelling... -- Aorii
As I understand, the reading is about events that had already happened, and not actual facts taking place in the exact moment of the storytelling. If this is wrong, then please let me know and I'll be more than happy to go there and edit it all as it was before (if that's necessary, I have no idea of the more advanced workings of this wiki-thing...). The editing was made in the sense that more than once there were phrases containing both the present and the past tense (pronoun and verbs not agreeing with each other was quite common as well) throughout the entire chapter, which - as far as I know - is not the correct usage of the language. -- Crysal
