Did anyone else think the first book read like it was written by a neckbeard with an unhealthy view on romantic relationships?

Kvothe doesn't really struggle against anything because he's just soooooo smart and talented. Then his romantic interest consistantly shits on him, but he's always there because he's just a real super understanding white knight.

Rothfuss's world building is great, but his characters amd story are lacking.

I know it's considered sacrilege in fantasy circles but I thought The Name of the Wind was considerably overrated. Ya his "nice guy" relationship got on my nerves. Kvothe as a whole is a Mary Sue. Plus hundreds of pages of him trying to make ends meet as a kid got old to me.
