How about just the *quantity* of the villains he meets? I'm currently re-reading Cugel's Saga for the umpteenth time and I always love the way virtually everyone is out to swindle (at the very least) or do away with him at every opportunity.
Twango, Faucelme, Iocounu, even LAnkwiler (Cugel's "competition" as worminger) to name but a few. It seems to be "every man for himself" and always brings me out in a grin as I imagine all the scheming going on behind the scenes.
It always keeps me gripped....
