Being a doujin release from Irodori and sporting a title like Alice in Impregnation Land, I don't think I was wrong in expecting a what-you-see-is-what-you-get situation with the content in this release. That would be fine, Alice in Wonderland But Horny isn't exactly an uncommon porncake premise, so I'd be down to see this (adult!) incarnation of Alice get her back blown out by a hot Cheshire catboy and white-rabbit-boy, apparently with a side order of an impregnation fetish. I've even read enough of these things that I wasn't too taken out by the impressive amount of preamble before Alice and the aforementioned catboy Punitz had their first messy tea party. There's world-building that needs to be laid out to inform the child-birthing concepts, with a contrast between the Queen of this Wonderland erasing lives while Alice has the power of creating them. There are ideas in this smut, so the formative foreplay fits. Call it a…pregnant pause.

So imagine my surprise when all the complications of contrasting creation/destruction also intersected with a whole isekai setup plot to turn Alice in Impregnation Land into a very complex web of emotions and backstory belied by its shorter page count. Explicit sex happens, to be sure, and there's even a decent variety of it between Alice's lovey-dovey times with Punitz and the torrid affair foisted on her by resident danger boyfriend Lange. Content warning for some surprisingly rough non-consensual-flavored stuff, by the way, which includes some fairly harsh emotional work from Lange, as he starts monologuing like Sephiroth while finger-blasting her. It fits in a freakishly unexpected way too, as this act prompts Alice to phase-shift into her pregnancy final boss phase for a nigh-apocalyptic final act. I told you this dirty doujin went places.

The magical mechanics powering Alice's baby-making powers mean she's generally shortchanged of the full birthing and breeding experience, though they at least get some milking in there. The first half, with Punitz being rooted in a world-reincarnation where the characters have to suss out sex ed on their own, leads to some clumsy, honestly hilariously unsexy dialogue. That turns out to be the Achilles' heel of the whole book, with even the obligatory ending threesome being punctuated with such turn-on gems as "I'll take that dirty sperm…and wipe it away for you with my penis." On top of that, while Taketa can generally draw the crap out of some hot shredded guys, they bafflingly leave out the essential male nipple. Characters' faces can feel skewed and inconsistent, though that's almost made up for by the impressive severity of the Alice-hegao faces that pop up a couple of times. It's all a weirder book than might be expected at first pass, which ups its value as a curiosity, by my count anyway. Just so long as you are aware of how much you're getting into if you pick it up on account of that curiosity.

I look at the title Alice In Impregnation Land, and I think that it's just going to be a simple raunchy parody of Alice in Wonderland. However, while there are some hints and parallels to that original classic story, I could not have prepared for how deep this rabbit hole goes. This is a self-contained story about three characters who all met gruesome fates and ended up in a weird fantasy world. Our main lead, Alice, can rapidly get pregnant through physical contact. I'm all for having a breeding kink, but there are just so many ways this story plays out in a very weird way.

It starts with a nice romance blossoming between Alice and this nice cat boy. But then, when we get into the dark history of what these characters went through in the real world, how they ended up where they are now, and how it ties into this fantastic world, which never really gets a proper explanation, I start to get less interested. The story just gets uncomfortably dark without the real estate to properly flesh out these elements. It feels like this story was supposed to be a two-parter, with one potentially focusing on an NTR and a mind break plot between Alice and another guy. But that situation happens, doesn't get addressed, and then the story wraps itself up in a nice bow without any real sense of narrative consequence or emotional payoff.

At the end, I'm just left feeling very uncomfortable and put off by the darker elements that get thrown in there because all that does is distract me from the more titillating sex scenes. They go hard on some of those darker elements too, with characters meeting gruesome ends via suicide, and the way that Alice's twisted state of mind is portrayed artistically is actually rather nice, even if I was disturbed by it. But anything after that does not feel earned, and the ending annoyed me with how it tried to gaslight me into thinking that the story was more emotionally fulfilling than it was. This feels like a story that doesn't satisfy any specific fetish, and you're probably better off reading something else.
