It's fine to ask to combine books! About tutorials: you can read Librarian Manual, there is a chapter How to edit your book as a Goodreads Author, I hope it will help.

#573 done except for the last part. Author profiles in different languages shouldn't be merged. English version of name should be manually added to all the books as a primary author. Japanese version is to be kept and mentioned as a secondary author.

First three authors are merged. Again, for the last link, author's profiles in different languages shouldn't be merged.
Actually, this profile needs corrections as well: one profile should be for आचार्य चतुरसेन, another for Acharya Chatursen, and Acharya Chatursen should be set as primary author for each book. It means a lot of manual corrections. Since this is not the only author with similar English/native spelling, I'd rather create a topic in "Looking for a project" for this issue, but it's up to you, of course.

All four links are the same author. All his books are written in Hindi not in any other language. Even from the fourth link you can see author's profile name is written in Hindi then english name is used in square bracket for convenience of others. I think it will be better to have one profile i.e. आचार्य चतुरसेन [Acharya Chatursen].
Hope this is not an issue.

Thank you.

Bhagwati Charan Verma is the correct name of the author.

I understand what you want to do here, but according to Librarian Manual all the authors should have primary names in English:
All editions should have the primary author name as the standard or most common Roman (that is, English-language) version of the author's name. Editions published under another spelling of the name or the name in another language should have that name listed as the secondary author.

When we add two versions of author's name, we make search more convenient. But 2 spelling versions should be in separate fields, not in one line.
This rule is the same for all the languages, e.g. Anton Chekhov is the primary author for all editions, but Russian spelling is in info. Also books in Russian have two names, like here: Человек в футляре.
Similar situation was recently discussed here.

So, the only way to make things right is to keep Hindi profile in Hindi only, then manually add both English and Hindi author's name in each edition. It takes time, that's why I suggest to move this request (as well as any other similar author profiles you find) to a separate topic.

I think that will be okay.
Hope both profiles are interlinked with eachother. Like you said one profile should be for आचार्य चतुरसेन, another for Acharya Chatursen. I guess that will be okay

Thank you so much :)

#592 - done but Garibaldi, seems to be an adaptation, only 82 pages against 188 and descripted as "concise history of Giuseppe Garibaldi and his exploits".
