so a bulk metadata update is not possible - any workaround for quickly doing 10+ books ?

When bulk editing the metadata, there's a search & replace- field. Try using that to first remove series info, then do your metadata lookup, then put the series info back again. Yes, three distinct steps is not "quickly", but it's better than doing every single book manually.
