Yeah, i figured that much at this point. Personally i don't think it's a good thing to write without an outline.

It seems to me that Kvothe is a Sherlock-like character who lacks a proper moriarty.

Well it worked with A Song of Ice and Fire... except the fourth book I guess. Lord of the Rings was also more or less written that way. But yeah, I agree the time you spend doing that and the risks make it not worth it, except if it's the only way you can write or really have no inspiration or idea as to where things are going haha.

I think the last two song of ice and fire books are why it isn't a good approach.  Martin is starting to approach Jordan levels of delayed storytelling.  Plus, I think Martin does have a general outline of what he wants to do with each book as he knows how many books are going to be in the series...
