Sure, Kvothe can be annoying, but at least he doesn't have amnesia like a typical JRPG protagonist.
Since we're on the subject, a partial list of the great unreliable narrators in literary history:
1. Holden, from The Catcher in the Rye (an oldie but a goodie)
2. Frank, from The Wasp Factory (one of the creepiest damned books you'll ever stumble across)
3. Narrator, from Fight Club (sure, we all know the twist by now, but at the time, it was a shocker)
4. Humbert, from Lolita (not an easy book to make it through, but man, it sure is good)
5. The Boy, from Life of Pi (a beautiful book, almost the opposite of the previous entry, but still not easy)
6. Amy and Nick, from Gone Girl (the best modern mystery in recent memory)
7. Rachel, from The Girl on the Train (a close second in the category mentioned above)
8. Christopher, from The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time (easily the best way for anyone without autism to try to learn to empathize with someone with autism)
