Do you count DNFs in yearly reading challenge?

I just found out we can add DNFs to our yearly reading challenge and am on the fence of if I should add them or not. It's just for me, I know but I feel a bit guilty for counting them. But at the same time I think it could help me be more open to DNFing books so I can move on to things I enjoy more. What do you guys think?

For context: I usually don't DNF before at least 30% and only have 3 DNFs this year. I've completed 42 books this year (I'm so proud of myself 💪😌 even if most of them are graphic novels)

Conclusion: I think I might count them because I rarely DNF, and sometimes don't even count books as DNF if I didn't read at least 20-30% of them and I feel like I should get rewarded for trying to like the book. It's not my fault it sucked. I do think if I start DNFing a lot then I might stop counting them but for right now I've decided to count them because usually I only DNF when I genuinely can't stand to read it anymore and the books I've DNFed this year I've read most of.

My Happy Marriage, Vol. 4

Rito Kohsaka

A Cinderella-inspired, slow-burn historical romance with a paranormal twist set in Taisho-era Japan! A browbeaten and mistreated daughter is cast out of her home and sent to audition as a bridal candidate for the heir to one of the most powerful families in the land… Miyo Saimori, the eldest of her clan and yet unblessed by the supernatural talent that graced her father and half sister, is sent off to marry into the Gifted Kudo clan. The young and aloof clan leader, Kiyoka Kudo, finds himself intrigued by this girl who stands worlds apart from the spoiled, social-climbing women who usually vie for his hand. All too soon, Kiyoka comes to regard Miyo with affection. Kiyoka and Miyo make their engagement real and official, but Miyo still worries she lacks the training to be a wife worthy of the Kudo clan. Enter Kiyoka’s older sister, Hazuki, who takes it upon herself to tutor Miyo—and tease Kiyoka along the way! Suddenly, Miyo and Kiyoka encounter a mysterious man named Arata Tsuruki. What does he want, and what connection does he have to the enigmatic and powerful Usuba clan that Miyo’s mother hailed from?

This was cute but also a lot of telling and not showing to the point it kinda took me out of the story at times but the romance building is so cute! Can't wait for the next volume!
