ok so the internet suggests he at least has a word count now so at least it's progressed to editing-hell instead of entirely missing-in-action.

ok look, I don't care that there's at least 200 pages too many in the second Kvothe book. I don't care that there's an entire cringe inducing plot arc that seems like little more than cheesecake for my 13 year old horndog lonely kid self. I'm ok with all of that.

I don't even care that he named the goddamn thing "Kingkiller Chronicle" and it's almost certain that the eponymous king killing ain't gonna happen, or at least not in any obvious way, in the first 3 books.

I care that he succeeded in creating a narrative fiction in which both drug addiction and mental illness are personified as mysterious and beautiful women and where a swaggering hero's instincts to publicly humiliate his bullies are the WORST fucking decisions.

we must have read different books because I have no idea what you mean about personifying drug addiction and mental illness as women

Auri's mentally ill, not a personification of mental illness, I'd say. I also have no idea how Denna is at all connected to addiction.

But then Denna's main role is to be interesting, strong, and independent when she's acting on her own, and a simpering idiot in every scene she shares with Kvothe, lest she somehow steal a lumen of his spotlight.

I disagree with that and seriously will push the psychodynamic reading of the inner narrative as hard as necessary to make the point. Kvothe isn't a person we've actually met in the story at all. He's a fiction made up by the innkeeper Kote. Why does Kote tell the story that way?
