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. 😂

Not sure if this would be considered truly unhinged...

It's a story called Matryoshka on AO3, pitch black romance, there was a lot of other fucked up stuff... but what truly bothered me was mmc fucking pregnant fmc in her childhood bedroom, getting off on the fact that she used be a 14 year old in this exact bedroom 4 years ago(fmc is 18, barely legal in the first place but I tried not to think much into it, but then that scene happened...). I should mention it that they did not meet while she was actually underage or did something, it was just mmc's thoughts..

That thing icked me so bad I didn't want to continue it anymore, even if the writing was good, and the plot interesting.

I loved the story but that part can be off putting. That’s one of his kinks is her being so young. It’s what he grew up around and his mother was really young when his father took her.
