One of the things I desire most is to have my ebubs organized into Series. The default "download metadata" doesn't do a good job. Thanks to ChatGPT, I learned there is a GoodReads plugin.
So I set the metadata download to JUST update the series and to use Goodreads - and it's working nicely.
I'm also using multiple libraries. I have a "clean things" library where I work on whatever set of files until I'm happy. Then I merge those books into my master library.
Of course, this assumes my computer remains stable. I hope it will. I don't plan on upgrading it for years.

It's eventually going to stop working nicely as Goodreads is chock full of errors in the series info. You could have errors already that you just don't know about. I suggest you double check everything that comes from Goodreads or stop using it for your metadata as you'll be double checking anyway if you want accurate data.
