It has been a decade since I read it so apologies if I mess up names.

It is certainly true that Kvothe is unusually talented but I view that as feature rather than a bug. It is a theme of the book and (such as it is the series). For all his powers and tricks Kvothe is ultimately:
[hider=SPOILERS]
Unable to help Deanna
Unable to truly master the Name of the Wind
Unable to make an real progress in his search for the Chamdrin
[/hider]

There are plenty of touchstones for the theme of self defeating arrogance throughout the book.

Furthermore the tone and demeanor of the mature Kvothe, in the present, indicates that he is coming to terms with his youthful misuse of power. Bast in fact despairs the change in his friend and actively tries to steer the Chronicler to help affect a change. Kvothe himself admits that the current apocalypse is essentially his fault due to the misuse of his own power. 

The world would be WAY better off if Kvothe had been a bit less self important and gone to find Abenthy rather than torturing himself and setting the whole storm in motion. 

Also above and beyond the plot, the prose is absolutely beautiful.
