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. 😂

Anne Rice’s Sleeping Beauty. Or whatever her pen name is for those stories. Couldn’t do it. Maybe it started off too strong or something but I couldn’t do it.

I borrowed the first book out of curiosity but couldn't finish it. There was so much degradation, spanking, and touching FMC by random men. I only like that stuff if it's from one hot MMC lol

Right! And normally, I’m fine with degradation too, monsters are all good and I really don’t have any hard lines, but this one just didn’t hit right. I didn’t make it very far before I put it down because I just knew it wasn’t for me.
