I really didn't hate the Ferulian (or whatever) scenes as much as others.
To me, it was just Kvothe being an unreliable narrator, bragging about his sexual prowess to keep building his legend.

I feel that Kvothe being an unreliable narrator provides a lot of the undercurrent of interest I find in the book because I think we're going to find out that he's been really unreliable, which, to the extent that he's taken it here, is a refreshing and "new" concept to me in terms of books. I mean, you have the unreliable narrator, to an extent, in a lot of fiction, but in Kingkiller you can barely trust him. I like that wrinkle.
So far as his braggadociosness though, I agree. It gets old, particularly the extent to which he takes it. We get it - Kvothe is an extreme braggart and a liar - there's no need to just beat it to death like he does.
