Overall, I would suggest using calibre to manage the ebooks on your computer. It just makes managing, updating metadata, conversion, adding books to collections, etc. so much less painful.

Clarification. KOReader uses calibre.metadata which is a JSON file, not the Calibre metadata.db SQLite database. It doesn't support custom columns, either. Mind, I do believe KOReader allows searching by filename.
That said, I agree, Calibre would be very helpful here. Probably the best way to go about adding the books is processing one folder at a time, add the tags (e.g. Marvel, Marvel.Team Iron Man, etc), then process the next batch.
