History YMMV / AliceGirlFromTheFuture

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation:

** There are fans of Book!Alice, fans of [[Series/GuestFromTheFuture Natalia Guseva's Alice]], fans who like both and think they're one and the same, and fans who like both but say they are different.

** There are different interpretations of the ShipTease between Alice and Pashka. Some readers believe it’s a sign the two are meant to be and it will develop into love as they grow up. Some believe it will go nowhere. The latter group is also divided: some of them think Alice friendzones Pashka who is in love with her, others are sure it’s the other way round, and there are those who think they are just good friends who only sometimes feel attracted to each other thanks to puberty and have no long-standing romantic feelings for each other.

** Alice’s 20th-century classmates only appear in ''One Hundred Years Ahead'', and except for Kolya [[spoiler:Naumov]], only in the second part. They are among the most beloved characters of the franchise. Justified, since, first, there is the wildly popular [[Series/GuestFromTheFuture adaptation]], second, unlike the multitalented, superheroic kids of Alice's own time, the 6B class is more suitable as an AudienceSurrogate for the readers.

** There is also a prominent count of fanfics that reveal Alice’s utopian future as a CrapsaccharineWorld.
* FridgeBrilliance: The numerous cases of ContinuitySnarl are actually justified, since the stories simply take place in several highly similar parallel worlds. The existence of such worlds is confirmed as canon in the short stories ''Is It You, Alice?'' (where the crew of the ''Pegasus'' meet themselves from another world) and ''Literature/AliceAndAlicia'' (where Alice and Pashka are forced to have several trips between parallel worlds, thanks to Alicia – Alice’s counterpart from one of them – wishing for a butterfly from a species extinct in her universe).

** ''Literature/TheVoyageOfAlice'': [[spoiler:The Third Captain]] is continuously tortured for ''four years'', and if it hadn’t been for Alice [[spoiler:hearing his groans and realizing someone else was imprisoned in the dungeon]], he would have been left for dead.

** For all that ''The War With Lilliputians'' is one of the most cheerful books of the series, it also happens to include the Panchenga clan. Old Panchenga [[spoiler:keeps prominent academics captive and blackmails them with their loved ones’ lives to make them work for him]]. Panchenga Skuliti is a pirate. Panchenga Muliti keeps the children of his relatives’ captives as slaves on his plantation and treats them horribly (it’s implied the elder girls are subjected to sexual abuse), and if they manage to get away (by being handed over to unsuspecting patrons), they are frightened into silence. The Panchengas’ crimes disgust [[EvenEvilHasStandards Rat and Jolly U]] (the same ones responsible for the FridgeHorror entry from ''Literature/TheVoyageOfAlice'' above).

** The VillainDecay of Rat and Jolly U. Some fans think that they were much more impressive and believable in their iconic appearances in ''Literature/TheVoyageOfAlice'' or ''One Hundred Years Ahead'', others love their FriendlyEnemy interactions with Alice in the later books.

* {{Sequelitis}}: Even many of the most devoted fans admit that the plot and writing in the last stories seem forced in comparison to the earlier ones. Understandable, since the utopian future by itself has stopped being interesting (especially with real-life technology's rapid development in the 1990s and the 2000s) and the space pirates have essentially ceased to be a threat to Alice, making it difficult for the author to rely on the setting and one of the major plot lines, so that he turned to including fantasy and/or historical fiction elements. However, the point when the decline begins and the extent to which it goes (some fans outright refuse to read the later books, some think them good, just not as brilliant as the earlier ones) are a source of debate (see BrokenBase above).

** The VillainDecay of Rat and Jolly U. Some fans think that they were much more impressive and believable in their iconic appearances in ''A Girl from Earth'' or ''One Hundred Years Ahead'', others love their FriendlyEnemy interactions with Alice in the later books.

** The marriage of Alice's parents. Very little as said about it in the books, and the fans are split on whether it's a healthy and loving long-distance relationship or a deeply unhappy marriage where the spouses only stay together for their child's sake and avoid each other as much as possible.

** Many fanfics have Alice and her 20th century friends meet again, thanks to a SequelHook in the end of ''One Hundred Years Ahead''.
