I try not to get bothered by it. I read manga that have been ongoing for years and some events are often explained hundreds of chapters later. For ongoing manga that are released weekly or monthly, you can say that the manga authors sometimes fix plot holes as they go along, especially when there are complaints from readers. But these dramas were written and completed months or years before airing, we cannot call them plot holes simply because the explanations came later. Sometimes things aren't revealed until later because that's what the writer wants and there might be a purpose for it. Like the revelation about how the Cloud Spring Demon King got into the Outlander's territory was supposed to show the extent of their betrayal and give it more impact. If they had revealed it earlier on, then the deception would've been revealed too early. The audience are not supposed to find out until later. We could only speculate about it until it is confirmed. I normally don't complain too much about the writing until I've seen everything. But yeah, I get why it can be frustrating sometimes.

It's not a plot hole when there's an eventual explanation for it. It becomes one when the drama ends without explaining that bit at all. So for long series such as this one, I normally reserve judgment until I've seen everything before I conclude that there are plot holes, retcons, suspend-your-disbelief stuff, and such because some of the things that don't make logical sense at first might not be so illogical later on.
