What is the main protagonist name? Kvost? Most fantasy genres have people who seem to have a horse shoe up der ass and be invincible.

Kvothe.

I can see why people get annoyed at the whole "look at me I'm so good at everything" rubbish, but I think it's actually quite refreshing to have someone who is genuinely brilliant at everything and just stuck in a shitty situation where he still can't really succeed despite his clear talent. It's a nice irony.

Plus, he seems to be preparing for a huge fall in book 3, if the first chapters of the first book are anything to go by.

I'm on page 500 of the first book, and i must say the story isn't moving along. In the first chapters, like you wrote, the hinted to far more than this. It's at least a trilogy, but still there isn't a main villan or some hint of a big plot at page 500.

It's okay at this point. Not great, i'm afraid. Unless the last 200 pages are better, i'm not sure if i'm reading the sequel.
