Tom Jones
Don Quite vs Cant Tales mashup. Main story with lots of sub plots and indeed separate stories altogether although adding to the gist of the whole Saucy stories. Odd extra tales. Lewd men and women. Hero unable to restrain desires. Partly oblivious to reality. Sidekick out for their own gain. Verbose prose why use 10 words where 100 will make the story more amusing. Latin chucked in for good measure. Not that I ever learnt it. No my sorta schooling. Later in one of the chapters intro a book tells us he can steal from the ancients but not contemporaries as the poor can steal form squires but not each other. Last book intro goes into how he won't be able to conjour up miracles as ancients could with deity interference. Then he does give us an incredulous ending
