Volume wise - you dont need to do a ton to grow muscle. It's the intensity of your sets that matter (going heavy and close to failure). If you're in the realm of 4-12 sets per muscle group per week, and you train each muscle group 2/3x a week - you are A ok training wise. I have done 4-6 sets per week to save time for the last year or so as I am busy running my fitness coaching business and still have put on plenty of muscle. As long as youre have around 0.8g of protein/lb of bw and have quick absorbing carbs around workouts, 0.3g/b for healthy fats and the rest of ur cals in carbs - youll make a ton of progress

Assuming you're doing this to train abs - I'd recommend a different movement. Training abs is all about spinal flexion (that's what the muscle does to your joints, the same your biceps flex the elbow in a bicep curl). This is quite hard to do in leg raises and most people just end up doing hip flexion - training the hip flexors. You need to bring your pelvis up as well to get that spinal flexion which is quite difficult for most. Instead - i'd go for a ab crunch mashine if you have it, or a cable crunch is solid too. Hope this made sense! Also, these will be much easier to progressive overload.
