Speaking of Kvoth(is that how you say it?) from that book, and what I heard about him.

The one thing that jumped out at me for some weird reason was the succubus thing. For once I'd love to see a succubus who likes a virgin guy because he's inexperienced and adorably inept and she could 'show him the ropes'.

*ahem* Anyway, I thought the biggest problem was just a case of special snowflake syndrome, where the character has to be the unique/special/best there ever was at anything and everything in order to be cool or just because the character was his egomobile.

He could have been made tolerable with a lot of toning down on the snowflake-meter and a huge attitude adjustment (seeing others around you as being beneath you is a good villain trait or antihero protagonist trait if done well, but not a good idea in a character we're supposed to root for.)

I think that it's not just the snowflake-ness that needs to be toned down, the books need more plot and more serious shit happening. If he was more proactive and spent less time moping around about money, there might also be more reasons to like him... but no, he's super special and everybody else in the world spends their time making up dramatic rumours about him.
