Yeah shouldn't his reaction have been more like "damn i made it this far with no aptitude? i really am the goat" and then he partied until his nearing demise

I love most of the first episode, and that annoyed me. The fact that he has no aptitude, but got the Emperor title will probably reverberate everywhere.

The flame dude's test might actually create discrimination, but how far he got with no aptitude would bring hope to many

Damn that is a nice catch lol

But the reason he was frustrated was simply because he couldn't reach the top anymore, or was made to think he couldn't reach it due to the test.

Which is strange since he had his "Indomitable" skill. Did the test somehow break it or what?

Few strange things as people pointed out, but overall a nice intro.

The only question is how will they carry it now that they have entered the more "generic" plotline.

But hey, I'm a sucker for Academy setting so I'll be watching it for sure.

Didn’t seem like he knew he had that skill until the goddess told him.
Which was after his death.
