What is the worst inconsistency or the worst case of bad writing you've seen in a Warriors book?

-OOC characters -Mixing up the gender, pelt, and eyes of characters. (Rowenclaw, Dovewing's eyes,etc.) -Lack of a plot (POT and OOTS)

At first I read this as Whitewing problems XD I think it's when characters switch genders like in the SAME paragraph. When Gorsetail's kits got lost in the tunnels, it mentioned one of them, I think it was Swallowkit, as a she-kit, then a tom, then a she-kit all in like one page. It's a little amusing though as well. Here's an example with eye color changing on the SAME page, btw, I didn't write in the book, it was done with microsoft paint

When they totally replace a character with another character.
This happened in one the AVoS bonus scenes and they were talking about x, and then they start talking about y, and I’m like who the hell is y?!
Same thing with Rippletail and Slatefur—I’m sure there were more.

There was also Thornclaw and Mousewhisker, which confused me, because all the Blossomfall x Mousewhisker scenes, where Lionblaze, I think it was, thought that they were going to be mates, and it was actually supposed to be Blossomfall x Thornclaw.

Most mistakes in the Warriors books don't bother me at all. Like gender mistakes, pelt/eye colors, background character ages... none of those truly have any effect on the story being told, they're just amusing. Like one that jumped out to me is Emberkit from Moth Flight's Vision (this was before kits were named with the -kit suffix). Not important at all, and easily headcanoned away.
The only ones that bother me are those that cause an actual problem within the story. For example, the fact that Jay, Lion, and Holly were born in leaf-bare, and also apprenticed in leaf-bare. It's not like other inconsistencies where one event trumps the other; both these events are plot significant. You can't headcanon that they were born in summer, because Jay's memories of the journey in the snow are important. But you also can't headcanon they were apprenticed in summer, because that would screw up the entire freaking timeline of Power of Three. So now my headcanon is just "young Jaykit screwed with the space-time continuum and caused the universe to skip ahead six months and no one noticed".
Thankfully there's not too many like that. That's actually the only one I can think of. There are some borderline situations (like Jayfeather hitting the reset button on his character development every arc) but most of the time, I just headcanon away inconsistencies and don't let them bother me.

Well, this was a fast ceremony
Beetlepaw narrowed his eyes. “He’s fatter.” He sniffed. “Like a kittypet.” “I’m no kittypet!” Crookedkit growled. “Who’s been feeding you then?” Beetlenose challenged

I’m rereading that book now and completely missed that.

I find it hilarious how it's on the SAME exact page, like, close together, not blue on the top and green on the bottom, but almost the same paragraph I'm reading Crookedstar's Promise, and Mapleshade was mentioned with amber eyes at first, but then she went and got contact lenses, and now they're green. Same with Sandgorse in Tallsar's Revenge.

I really don't understand the inconsistencies in the allegiances and the stories themselves. It seems like it's very unprofessional. Shouldn't there be like a resource where you can report these things, or maybe the Erins and/or their editors can really sit down and comb through the writing to fix it? Exactly. I write fan fictions and I have stuff like that written down.

Graystripe being Mistystar's father.
Spiderleg being called the father of Berrykit, Mousekit, and Hazelkit in Leafpool's Wish.
If we're talking about typos, I think there was one that was spelled "Ravepaw" instead of "Ravenpaw".
