The root word of problematic is problem. The antonym is solution. Solution in a literary context is revision.
You'd think the literary world would be the last place to strip meaning from words to redefine them for every occasion, but we live in a strange world.

No, solution in a literary context is... context. Applying context to a problematic work is the solution.
Solution and revision aren't synonymous in any context. I think this is a you thing.
