Yeah, literotica allows authors to put tags on each individual chapter, which are only displayed on those individual chapters. FFF's update paradigm is to only download the chapters you don't already have, so it doesn't see the tags on other chapters.

You can, as you found, overwrite instead of update, or you can use the 'a' for add flag on custom_columns_settings. I'm not sure what that would do to keeping order.
Spoiler:
Code:
## (Plugin Only) - You can also populate calibre custom columns with
## the site specific metadata using custom_columns_settings (but only
## if 'Allow custom_columns_settings from personal.ini' is checked in
## the plugin GUI config.)  There are three parts, the entry name,
## then the label of the calibre custom column, then (optionally) a
## 'mode'.  'r' to Replace any existing values, 'a' to Add to existing
## value (use with tag-like columns), and 'n' for setting on New books
## only.  (Default is 'r'.)

## Literal strings can be set into custom columns using double quotes.
## Each metadata=>column mapping must be on a separate line and each
## needs to have one space at the start of each line.  There is also a
## special case for Integer and Float type custom columns: The static
## value "None" will clear the column.

## 'r_anthaver' and 'n_anthaver' can be used to indicate the same as
## 'r' and 'n' for normal downloads, but to average the metadata for
## the differents story in an anthology before setting in integer and
## float type custom columns.  This can be useful for a averrating
## column, for example.
## 'r_anthmax' and 'n_anthmax' indicate 'r' and 'n' for normal
## downloads, but to use the highest value for the metadata from the
## differents story in an anthology in integer and float type custom
## columns.
## Default is to sum the values of all stories, and numChapters and
## numWords are always summed.

#custom_columns_settings:
# cliches=>#acolumn
# themes=>#bcolumn,a
# timeline=>#ccolumn,n
# "FanFiction"=>#collection
# averrating=>#averrating,r_anthaver

I don't know if that's possible. It's not something FFF's going to do for you.

I'd look in the Viewer and/or Library Management subforums.
