I also have Kobo Utilities and do use the Custom Columns for current reading location column, percent read column, rating column, and last read column.
However, when the fic gets updated by the author, I use Fanficfare to overwrite my original Calibre epub. But when I send it to Kobo using the Send to Device button, the kepub in the Kobo doesn't get replaced or updated.
Is there any better way to do this? Especially when I'm not 100% finished with the fanfic kepub in my Kobo, and would prefer to have something store my current location and then update it in the Kobo when the fic gets updated and sent to the Kobo again. The problem with Kobo Utilities "percent read column" for this is that the percentage read column will obviously be wrong when the fanfic gets updated and then downloaded by Fanficfare.
Thanks in advance!

Not a much-tested method, because I tried it like just once eons ago, but you can try and see if it works:
- Send the updated fic to your Kobo (make sure you have the "Do not treat replacements as new books" checkbox flagged in the driver)
- Select in the library view the updated fic(s) and run the "Update ToC for selected books" option (Kobo Utilities)
In this way, you should be able to navigate properly your updated fic(s).
I'm not sure if the replaced book picks up your previous location, though.
