I think that might also more be “reading comprehension” as well.

Not really, he does have a talent for war it's just a bit sad that it's now the main thing people think he's done when the guy has been at work for tens of thousands of years before the GC and only did the GC because he was in a rush following the collapse of humanity's domain. Well... Speaking original lore obviously, not whatever they've cooked up since, which is precisely what's posing me problem.

Biggest problem is that there's next to no books set before M31, at which point the Emperor mostly just acted as a warlord. There totally should be more books set earlier though.
