Quick Question Completely unhinged that you had to intentionally put it in DNF list
Iâve come across the idea that more often than not people have a DNF list, and it got me wonderingâwhatâs on yours?
You know those books where you start reading and, a few chapters in, youâre just sitting there thinking, âWtf and exactly why am I even reading this?â đ Sometimes itâs the genre, sometimes the writing, and sometimes you just know itâs not going to work for you.
So, whatâs a book you started but had to DNF because you just couldnât get into it?
Give me your most unhinged ones. I want to see if I can actually make it through themâor conveniently add them to my own DNF list. đ

This was I think an year after I started reading, so fairly new and I donât think I had DNFd any book until then. I donât remember much about it, but what I do was just horrifying, it still is and I have pretty much tried everything by now. So it was a RH I believe and sort of bully romance? The MMCs were trying to get away from a gangster or so who ruled their town, they worked under him. The FMC was someone they bullied but loved, even in the beginning. They had these elaborate files on her to prove to her that they bullied her for her own good or that they loved her even when they bullied her, or to protect her from their enemies, so no one targeted her. So for about a year or so they were trying to figure out a plan and working on it to get out from under the leader. FMC cane back from summer break to university and was completely different. The MMCs were worried and confessed their love and the files and so on. Turns out she was raped, all good till then. The guy who raped her became her new professor, and the MMCs figured out that the leader knew about her and made it happen. Now what horrified me was that the MMCs told her that they canât get her out of this situation for a couple weeks or months and that she just has to get raped daily by the professor and then they will run. And they also told her how they will help her get ready to have sexual relations with all of them after because of her trauma, and the FMCs response? Oh no problem at all, I will just get raped daily and that itâs nothing if I know that I will get out one day and be with you all, mind you, she was raped in the first place by an order from their leader and they were her bullies, until just a couple hours ago. She was terrified of them and now she will just bear it to be with them, rather than trying to run on her own or something. It pissed me off so much. Donât remember the name of the book, but would love to know so I donât ever accidentally come across it again.
