Quick questions would be which metadata sources are you using and how are they configured. Do you have any identifiers preset? I.e. isbn:9781649374080, amazon:B0BGDM197Q, kobo:fourth-wing for the book you mentioned.

Downloading metadata in bulk is iffy and getting worse. If you can easily be blocked from a site due to multiple requests triggering DDOS protection service. My last test showed Amazon blocking me after 5-7 consecutive requests.

My personal preference is downloading individually so I can see what is happening and having the chance to retry if the wrong book's metadata is fetched.

As for why it doesn't show in the ebook itself, unless you modify the metadata in the ebook using Polish or Modify Epub for example, the copy of the book sent to your device will be modified but the original is not changed.
