Shounen no Abyss

-Similar dark and at times hopeless atmosphere
-Psychological and existential, with a lot of depressing themes
-Consistently explaining motivations behind everyone's action without imposing generic set of morals
-Similar art
-Similar protagonists (If you ever happened to read these two at the same time you'd see many parallels between Denji and Reiji:
Besides being blonde, frail , depressed 17-year olds finding themselves in hopeless circumstances, and with bleak outlooks in future,
they are susceptible to influences of others and some of the main part of plot progression is them being taken advantage of/toyed by manipulative people, who happen to be female villain-protagonists
-Same "hot_garbage_dumpster_fire_I_wonder_what_is_going_to_happen_next" factor

Chainsaw man and Shounen no abyss feature impressionable teenage boys being manipulated by the adult women around them.
Both stories are unpredictable and keep subverting your expectations, leaving you hungry for more.
While things spiral downwards in Boy's abyss from the getgo, Chainsaw Man takes its time to build things up first.
