I just imported a book and this time it was the absolutely worst parsing I have ever seen. Every Kanji was separated, absolutely terrible so I tried to use “ai” parsing midway, it got better but then when I finished since I used it midway I split the whole lesson I didn’t linq these words. But then I clicked finish and all 500 words for some reason were put not to as linqs but as KNOWN Words even though I never clicked such a thing. So now my stats are COMPLETELY fucked up, it says I have learned more than 500 words today and have 500 words that I DON’T KNOW having said as known and now the furigana won’t show above all 500 of them (the furigana is 90% time wrong anyway so maybe that doesn’t matter as much) . Any help is appreciated!
That’s how LingQ is designed. If you finish a lesson all words that remained blue will be turned to known. People are complaining about this for a long time and the response has always been that this is how it is supposed to work. So you have to live with it.
The only thing that you can do is to turn those words to unknown once you encounter them again. In regards to the Furigana, it is possible to let them be shown always via the options. However, as you said yourself they are wrong often so it is probably best to disable them.

One solution is to go back through the whole book again slowly, marking every word as unknown (LingQ1) or ignore or known or whatever you want.
Alternatively, in the sidebar of the lesson you just completed there should be a list of known words. You can trash some of them from there, copy-paste the rest of them into a new lesson, and then create LingQs for them from inside the new lesson.
Or you could try @roosterburton. 's extensions. One feature is easy access to view and to quickly change status of words from within the current lesson.
We feel your pain. Maybe something will be done to fix this, someday.
For now, though, moving forward, be very careful not to mark a lesson as complete if there are still blue words, in the lesson, that you don’t want added to “known.”
