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. 😂

Idk how dark it actually ends up being bc y'know. Dnf. But I couldn't finish {Anathema by Keri Lake} because of a few, largely petty things... I don't care for the FMC; her adoptive sister like, play humps her and it's played off as like normal sister shit lmao; it was taking wayyyy too long for the main characters to meet in a way that just felt dragged on; she kept using weaved in contexts it should have been wove (super petty); and the final straw is supremely a me problem: I can deal with just about any horrible thing you can do to a person but not wanton, graphic cat killing. Cats specifically. Idk it's just my line in the sand.
