Wrong image, but it does communicate exactly how insufferable Rothfuss is

>segment where he learns to sword fight because he is supposed to know how to do it but it doesn't really fit it with anything.
That's really my problem with the series. Kvothe seems to just stumble into situations that progress his story without ever really making any decisions of his own. He gets an invitation to the court of some king, he gets dragged into the fairy realm, he gets pressured into going to ninjaland, but very little of it seems self-motivated, or realistic within the world.
And that could be fine, but Kvothe is so smug about everything that it makes the story fucking infuriating

Rothfuss writes what is essentially Twilight for nerds, smothered under unnecessarily purple prose, masturbatory diatribes on the art of music, and vague implications of doing some bullshit post-modern twist on the way that myths form.
