YACReader unfortunately does not use vanilla ODPS (and maybe not ODPS at all) so it won't sync directly to Calibre.
A less tedious but significantly slower option is to use Calibre's Connect to folder function to connect to a cloud storage directory as if it were a reader device. Slower because these have to sync up to the central servers and then back down to the iThing.

Safari actually works just fine with Calibre's content server.
Marvin hasn't been updated in a while so its support for the Files app (via Cloud Picker) is less than ideal. Unless you go with Dropbox or OPDS, you need to transfer ebooks one by one. Hence, I never much liked using iCloud/Files or CC with it.
I find Dropbox is the best supported source so I just use FreeFileSync to mirror my Calibre library to Dropbox and do batch downloads to Marvin.
