I could have loaded extended one, I am not sure if I did, or it just came with it.

Calibre has very many features and options, and it is not always exactly clear what each does. I admit, I am not yet professional user of Calibre.

Theonna,
You definitely added the kobo extended one. And that is why people are saying you are using something "unsupported". It converts epubs to kepubs. Kobo of course doesn't support this and so although the creator tries to fix problems, some of your issues may very well be caused by this plugin, so why not try the plugin which just sideloads supported epubs?
My advice would be to try disabling that extended plugin (and restart calibre), and then use the normal kobo plugin called "kobo touch"...put whatever settings you like in that plugin. Send a few books to your device. Disconnect your device and let the books be processed. Check out that things are as you like them (remember that if you want series information to appear you have to do another connect and disconnect from calibre for this to show). Then send the rest of your books.
Once you have done this, you should be able to make changes to your metadata in calibre and have that updated
without deleting or resending your books again.
I have a feeling that this may not be true for one aspect: covers...if you want to change the cover, you might have to resend the book....but then you can do this on the individual basis and don't need to send 1.8k books again.
I may be wrong, but from your posts it seems you keep deleting and resending books, if so, why? You can change shelves, change metadata, etc etc without doing this, so I am not sure why you would be doing this more than once.
