I am guessing this is what you are after (?).  
I have changed some details:

- File name your content template org file
- Target file name.
- Removed URL property (I thought you’d manually enter it anyway).

```auto
(add-to-list 'org-roam-capture-templates
             '("b" "Literature note (book or article)" plain
               (file "~/tmp/lit.org")
               :target (file+head
                        "lit/%<%Y%m%d%H%M%S>-literature-${slug}.org"
                        ":PROPERTIES:
:Author: %^{Author}
:Release_year: %^{Year}
:END:
#+title: %\\1 %\\2 %^{Title}
#+filetags: :literature:")
               :unnarrowed t))

```

The content of file `~/tmp/lit.org` is as follows.

```org

# If I have the numeric copy of the book, attach it

** Synopsis

%?

** Notes

# Use Org-noter if numeric book is attached"

```

Did I capture what you want correctly?
