I liked both. We don’t know that he doesn’t win in the end, we just know that he’s at a low point in his life in the present (waiting to die). Hopefully the third book will involve this present story more. Rothfuss could end it on a really strong note if Kvothe gains back some of his former awesome.
I would be pretty shocked if he didn’t; there’s no way The Ending will be Kvothe saying “and then I fled the city with my savings, came here, and opened an inn” as he turns away to wash some mugs.
