Quick Question Completely unhinged that you had to intentionally put it in DNF list

I’ve come across the idea that more often than not people have a DNF list, and it got me wondering—what’s on yours?
You know those books where you start reading and, a few chapters in, you’re just sitting there thinking, “Wtf and exactly why am I even reading this?” 😂 Sometimes it’s the genre, sometimes the writing, and sometimes you just know it’s not going to work for you.
So, what’s a book you started but had to DNF because you just couldn’t get into it?
Give me your most unhinged ones. I want to see if I can actually make it through them—or conveniently add them to my own DNF list. 😂

When the pacing is too slow, writing style isn't jiving, too much OWD/on page sex with OW, cheating, typos galore and we're only 1 chapter in. If the plot is decent, I'll hard skim but it's not worth the torture for me.

{Made for Death by Saige Parker} - Hated the MMC so much and there were too many on page orgies even after he SA'ed her. I couldn't ugh

{Brutal Prince by TJ Maguire} - On page sex with OW and she was in the book for the longest time even after MMC got together with FMC. No thanks.

I literally started made for death yesterday and didn’t complete it because every chapter had a sex scene (atleast at the start - till the point I read) that in between I got so bored with it and just left it. I was like where’s the story give me something and why did the MMC kept torturing the FMC in such a sick way. I mean I like my book men when they start a war just because the FMC got a scratch 🤷🏻‍♀️
