On the one hand, it seems intuitively obvious that the less a story makes you think about it in terms of being a thing written by an author, the better (barring meta fourth-wall brainfucks that are doing it on purpose, which go on a completely different scale)
On the other hand, the fact that a story was created by a person seems like a somewhat important thing to remember if one is doing analysis, otherwise you get callout posts about a story's villain like they're going around killing people in real life
