People are not finding it hard to read (okay... maybe some). The whole hoo-ha stems from people making a fuss about finding Kaoru's actions contradictory to her main goal (the premise of the story), while the translator and co. are throwing a fit and focusing on the reason and motivation of her current action, disregarding her end goal. One side is talking about the whole story and the other side is going on about the current arc, and both side are arguing thinking they're on the same page.
