Just the turn to college age guy going on sexcapede with multiple immortal women including a goddess not to mention general mary sue issues. It's either Rothfuss is amazing and the next book will be someone in the corner calling the storyteller on his BS or it's just the utter male fantasy it appears to be. There has been a lot of talk about which way it will end up being on r/fantasy if you care to search for it.

One immortal woman, the others are entirely normal women, and not an unreasonable number, just typical college student lifestyle. I absolutely think the depiction of the mercenary culture was a mistake, but it's not really these aspects in and of themselves that make it border on either wish-fulfillment or a possibly misguided attempt to play with the conventions of the genre.
