The adapter isn't collecting it. I don't know why. I've put a link to your post in the
GitHub Issue in case GC doesn't see it here.

Chapter titles are not considered metadata, so none of the
replace_metadata functions work on them.
The leading 'chapter ' comes from the site, but removing seems like a reasonable thing to do; either with
chapter_title_strip_pattern or in the code. I'll leave that call to GC to make.
Removing 'Blank', 'Blank ' and 'Blank Title' (the three from that story) is more problematic because then they have to be replaced with something else. Chapter titles can't be empty or they won't appear in the TOC.
How many stories have you seen that on? Are you sure it wasn't just the one author doing it manually?

Technically all the information is metadata, even though it's not normal metadata. And using a custom jacket would mean making changes to the title page may be easier. It's nothing I'm trying to ask for or anything, just a curious thought that wont leave me alone.

FanFicFare (then known as FanFictionDownLoader) was around before it was a calibre plugin and is still available as a python CLI and a web service. So it had and still has a need to generate it's own title page independent of calibre's metadata jacket feature.
You can always turn it off in personal.ini (
include_titlepage:false) and do your own thing if you like calibre's metadata jacket better.
