Writing in an omni-present/all-knowing point of view.

They write as if, (as it truly is,) some all-powerful, omnipotent being is writing this.

It's better to write from the perspective of an individual experiencing this, or, better yet, writing it as if it is being written by a historian or philosopher of sorts, and that the "lore" is an official document going over a topic.

A good example of this is something written for A-SOV which I'll post below.

that kind of lore is better to read by a mile.

i prefer reading it from the perspective of an individual who was either there or someone who uses history.

just makes it more fun and interesting.

Yeah, exactly.

It also makes sense. If you write from an omnipotent perspective, there's a few questions.

How do you know this?
Who is writing this?
When was this learned?

If you write it as if a historian is saying it, it has more explanation and basis.

most of the times this pisses me off (especially when a story ends and there's no conclusion about who wrote this) but sometimes you do find out who's telling the story at the end (as a plot twist most of the time).

'
i still prefer it based on the perspective of an individual who was there during those events and if written properly, you get a much better understanding and involvement through the story.

A-SOV will be using a combination.

It's either going to be explained via a document written by a Master of the Archive (a division we'll be having,) or through the eyes of a participant.

However, the latter may be written in the sense that it's sort of a story written by someone, almost. Someone's interpretation of the information, written in a story format.
