Batch update tags?
I have 2230 epubs in my library, most of which aren't tagged. Going one by one will take an incredible amount of time and web searching to find specific genres etc. Is there a way to select a batch and edit them?

I am using Marvin on iPad to read them and am not certain if I could sync metadata as tags but even in Marvin I'm not sure how to batch edit metadata, I think. Any help would be appreciated.

Batch is mostly for assigning the same value to multiple books.
Select books: tap 'E' (for edit):
Read the labels to see what can be done

In your case
Tags (type) allow adding to , removing from all selected

Batch does have other functions (Like Search And Replace for Fields, Not book contents_
