FFF does that with the intention that you can set never_make_cover but still have your own cover.
I am replacing the cover both inside Calibre and inside the epub with my own custom cover and I've verified that the cover image inside the epub is actually the custom one before updating. However, the download is still overwriting the cover inside the epub with the source website's cover even with the never_make_cover setting when downloading off of fanfiction.net using the browser cache.

Maybe this observation might help: In the past, when downloading off of other websites and using the never_make_cover setting to preserve the custom cover I've noticed that the "no new cover, has old cover, write image." log message always shows up in two separate rows instead of just once. Here's an example of a download log for a story off of RoyalRoad where the custom cover image is successfully kept over the update: FFF_DL_Log_NoCoverReplace.txt
