ADE 4.5.12.112 crashes after adding acsm for large comic series

Running Windows 11 Home v 25H2, ADE 4.5.12.112.

Added ~26 .acsm files to ADE and they processed/loaded no problem. However, when I try to add the .acsm for a large comic series, the loading bar looks like it finishes before ADE crashes. The book is not added to ADE. Retrying gives same results. This has happened to me before with other large “complete series” comics, though smaller single issue/volumes load fine, which is why I assume it has something to do with the file size. Not sure how to workaround to read the series, though!
