My Thoughts on Honey, I’m Going On a Strike
"Honey, I’m Going On a Strike" promised a blend of fantasy and romance, a shoujo tale with a touch of aristocracy and arranged marriage drama. After diving in, I found it to be a fairly enjoyable read, though not without its quirks.
First Impressions
The premise is intriguing: Cassia, after dying in a strained marriage to Zester, is reborn ten years in the past. Determined to avoid repeating history, she decides to cohabitate with Zester until she has her children again. The initial setup had me hooked, curious to see how she would navigate this second chance and how their relationship would evolve.
What Works Well
The core of the story lies in the evolving relationship between Cassia and Zester. Their journey from a forced marriage built on misunderstandings to a genuine connection is heartwarming. I particularly enjoyed seeing Zester's character growth as he grapples with his inferiority complex and slowly learns to appreciate and cherish Cassia. Cassia's intelligence and competence also made her a compelling character, and it was satisfying to watch her navigate the political landscape. The novel is a gentle story about two people learning to understand and love each other, and in that regard, it succeeds quite well.
Areas of Concern
While the romance is a strong point, the overall plot felt a bit uneven. There's a hidden antagonist revealed later in the story. The introduction of this overarching conflict felt somewhat disjointed from the initial focus on the couple's relationship. The tension was undermined by the story's frequent use of deus ex machina scenarios.

Overall, "Honey, I’m Going On a Strike" is a pleasant romance novel with a touch of fantasy. While the plot and world-building could be more consistent, the strength of the story lies in the charming relationship between Cassia and Zester. If you're looking for a sweet and heartwarming read with a focus on character development and romance, this might be right up your alley. I'd give it a solid 3.5 out of 5 stars.
