There might also be an issue with how the actual file name on your Boox is being created. Do you have a save template set in the Boox driver?

Bounce a query off my daughter and she has read some of the series and uses Hajime Isayama as the author.

Edit: added image from one book series I have with the identical titles.
I do have a template in python to export, I think I can see the issue now.

Here is the template for info sake (image 1)

Calibre is trying to grab the author from the filename but since my stuff is named:
Series - Vol. Series_Index "- Title" (this part is optional), it's importing it incorrectly when it has to rebuild the database.

Is there a way for Calibre to not do that or am I just SOL due to how I'm naming my exported files? I'm guessing the easiest way would be to change my template but I would love to keep how I'm naming my files so it's simpler to organize.
