I didn't read Lolita (apart from the beginning), but I'm 80% sure that Humbert Humbert is NOT an unreliable narrator and the book is just romanticizing pedophilia.

He is an unreliable narrator, but the narrative includes enough for us to establish that or do you think he really shot Q that many times without him dying? Recall when it turns out he has a movie studio out in the desert? The flying camera captured more than what H.H. (as opposed to G.G.) wanted, the entire otherwise invisible atmosphere of his ilk was by turns revealed in the text.
Anyway, you think that was bad, read his poem Lilith

humbert isn't even the narrator, or is John Ray Jr also a pseudonym of humbert?

HH is very regretful and talks negatively about his pedophilia and its effects on dolly throughout the book
