THANK YOU! I thought Name of the Wind was satire at first. It features all the classic neckbeard tropes. Including hits like:

* The other kids don't like Kvothe because he's so much smarter than them.

* The girl Kvothe crushes on has friend-zoned him...

* Because, of course, this girl only dates Chads.

* Though all the other girls fawn over him, Kvothe is too gentlemanly to take advantage of them.

* Kvothe uses "my lady" unironically and, even in a fantasy novel, makes it sound cringe-worthy.
