NTA but having an unnaturally stoic emotionless character is as ridiculous as everything you listed. Not even the Rei Ayanami type.
At least the anime had great animation so it cannot be called Hirai-face cheap.

Also >>281914048 is right to question why a character as OP, famous (and old) as Frieren, with statue of her in the street, would not be recognized by anyone with an interest in powerful magic.
>Wait, why do literally none of these top-tier mages in the exam know who Frieren is?
If I had to guess, I would say the author wanted to make it look humans have short-memory and can't keep track of what's important
