The whole thing is that he's an unreliable narrator.

Who has perfect recall of their entire life story ready for a stranger where you tell stories of how you became a sex god lute ninja?

Maybe he's just an Innkeeper who picked up entertaining stories over the years.

There, now we are out of the stupid corner he wrote us into.maybe he desperately needs a lodger at the Inn.

been ages but the fact he had the special sword and killed a demon thing prob indicates he is not JUST an innkeeper. And the box we will never get an answer too.

I really enjoyed the first two books but has been about a decade since i read them

This can be explained by the innkeeper thing. Real adventurers stay there, he could have learned a thing or two or been gifted a sword and a warning.

He literally says at one point as well that to tell a story right you have to be a little bit of a liar.

I would have so much more respect for the series without the sex dimension. That shit is turbo cringe.
