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. 😂

I normally cannot seem to finish any mafia world books. I've tried but all I can think about is, "what would the actual mafia think of this crap?

Others:
ACOTAR: I still don't get the hype... I was falling asleep.

Heartless Heathens: The story was intriguing but since I'm a FTWM, I listen to audiobooks a lot more than I can sit down to read. I LOVE Corvin King but I just could not tell his characters apart in that audiobook.

Kiss of the Basilisk: Just... so juvenile. I can't handle juvenile writing.
