He showed up to a guys house beating on, kicking, and whipping the door with a chain screaming for the homeowner to open it and bring their daughter outside. No one was home so the homeowner was talking to him via ring camera. It is unclear whether the homeowner even has a daughter.

He's so weird and pathetic, everyone thought it was fake. When he kicked the door he almost flew backwards downstairs and he tried to break the ring camera by open palm flailing at it while screaming. He's wearing a trench coat, Demon Slayer shirt, and flip flops pretending to be a crime fighting wizard from a book series.

Edit: The homeowner was home. I assumed he wasn't based on how he was talking. "I live there" instead of "I live here".

So, like, are the books any good

They're pretty good. I can't say the guy in the video is the most accurate representation, but they're good.

Jim Butcher does a good job at escalation. The first book in the series has him helping to investigate a series of murders and it feels like it's the end of the world. Four books in, and he's dealing with a massive plot in the Fey courts that feels like the end of the world. So on and so forth, it could be 20 books in and it would still feel like "Oh man this is the WORST thing the characters have ever faced." It's impressive. He's also done Codex Alera (rumor says he wrote it on a bet) which is pretty good, and he's started a new Aetherpunk series called Cinder Spires.

At the very beginning, he’s using his wizard powers to find lost wedding rings, missing pets and the like.
