Bishounenized desecration of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland: The very short compilation boogaloo
Alice Love Fables saw the ton of Alice one-shot spin-offs with only one volume and decided to take all of that conclusion-less self-insert harem fantasies and condense it onto one compact anthology. I wouldn't even call it a story, it's a collection of random scenes portraying Alice's various interactions with her ever so pretty harem. It's more on the level of previews than anything that can stand alone. And no, collecting a bunch of previews and publishing them in one volume doesn't change that.

As usual with the Alice manga franchise, the main personality of the male characters is "being in love with Alice", which is attempted to be portrayed with a different "quirky" ways for each characters, but ultimately it doesn't really go outside the template.
The art isn't bad, though I also wouldn't call it good. It's the usual business of slacking on the background and just slapping a filter there instead of actually drawing the background, but that is sadly the deal with a typical shoujo manga. At least the characters are drawn fine.
I also don't get the deal of including Crimson Empire short stories with so much of those Alice manga side stories. It's pretty much like a pop-up adware of a franchise I care even less about. I've read the Crimson Empire manga just so I could make a relevant commentary on the side stories and I can't say that I was impressed.
Overall, this is on par with browsing a gallery of shipping fanarts, just in a manga form.
