Now I sorted all my books by gender (novel, science, cooking,...) in folders and I would like to know if there's a way to be able to see those folders as they are on my Kobo Aura One. That would be super sweet if I could do that.

Thanks in advance for the help
As said by @JSWolf Kobo doesn't use file system to show Your books in categories, it uses metadata like collections, series (Author of course) ecc. And the patches won't help You.

Do You use calibre? may be not because otherwise You did not need to manually change the books directly in the Kobo file system. But if You use it and You have Your literary genres in a calibre column then this is Your solution:

Otherwise Your great work could be saved, not useless, if You install KOReader that uses filesystem.
On Kobo it is very easy:
