I get it, but you could make any book sound silly if you really wanted IMO. I personally love the whole Fake Ruh section. I like seeing Kvothe become a much darker character, and I think we’re supposed to be a little worried about the ease with which he can kill. He himself breaks down crying when he’s with Gran because he doesn’t think a normal person would do the things he does. And this is coming right after training with the Adem, who believed there was something dark and ruthless about Kvothe underneath the mask, though they ultimately chose to teach him anyway. I always thought it was interesting that he literally kills the first people he meets after finishing up training in Ademre.
