No. It's not library because you are not using metadata. It's just organised files.

There are ways to read on a phone wiithout Google Drive. I actually have a cheap Oppo with a 256 G SD card and both Lithium and Pocketbook apps for any ebooks copied to SD card. I do have the apps from Google, Kobo, Kindle etc, but I don't use them.

If you want Series on Kobo for sideloaded ebooks you need to use Calibre or write your own application.

A hierarchical set of files is not a library. It's just files. it's like having physical books and only putting them on ordered shelves without any catalogue or indexes (which libraries had before computers and as a minimum had separate title and author indexes and often subject too).
