Weird and wonderful. Can you try starting calibre in debug mode (the last item in Preferences), add a book, edit the metadata, etc. The debug log will be available when you exit calibre. Post the debug log (use spoiler tags (see the eye with the X icon between the Youtube and Map icons) to hide the log from view). You might also want to right-click on the book in the library list and then "open containing folder" to see what if anything is there.

Otherwise, I've only seen something similar to this once when an antivirus program would not allow writing to the calibre directories.

You are writing to a LOCAL ATTACHED drive and NOT a Network or Cloud drive? (do read the FAQ's at the Main Calibre Help site)

you have some program interefering with calibre or you have a broken filesystem which typically happens when you put your calibre library under a file sync program such as dropbox or on a network drive or similar.

I'm using Calibre over a Ubuntu 18.04 without anti virus system, i have a Google Drive Sync in this library with the third party solution called Insync.

There is your culprit.
1)Google drive mangles Calibres title (ID) <this is a long known issue with GD

2) If #1 did not get you, a race can happen when sync is active WHILE calibre is running. You make a change, and the sync puts the old back. ALWAYS pause sync when running Calibre

Read the last item in the calibre FAQ Library Management section, snippet:

Quote:

<snip>

If you are using a file-syncing tool it is essential that you make sure that both calibre and the file syncing tool do not try to access the calibre library at the same time. In other words, do not run the file syncing tool and calibre at the same time.

<snip>

In particular, be aware that Google Drive is incompatible with calibre, if you put your calibre library in Google Drive, you will suffer data loss.
