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 absolutely care that it's badly written, incredibly shitty about gender, and the protagonist is the most gigantic Gary Stu in any book I've read in the last 20 years. YMMV tho.

the writing seems pleasant enough to me but those other things, oh for sure. i love me some Kvothe the way i love me some Entenmann's: indulging luxuriously in something i know is cheap and bad for me

i do cringe a little every time i accidentally become aware of how many people are consuming it without knowing it's bad for them though

i've always assumed that Rothfuss was leaning into the Gary Stu thing as hard as he could as an intentional exercise, but then again i thought Ernest Cline was parodying shitty nerd worldviews in RP1 until i saw what he said in interviews so what the fuck do i know

"I will, as a sixteen year old virgin, be so good at sex that the literal goddess of fucking people to death is amazed at my skill and spares my life" was a pretty book-throwing moment tbh

I mean, on top of the 'immensely talented archmage, fencer, lutist' combo

again, Kote bragging and exaggerating. He's a Bard class right? He can actually do all of those things, but is "master of none" as the saying goes. Even in the story Kote tells the only thing he's legit good at is the lute. He gets tossed around at everything else he tries.
