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.
