Difficulty
This level is like The Beach in that it sometimes doesn't have a path for the player to follow, and the level sometimes doesn't sync with the music.
The camera in this level could easily confuse you.
There are ducks, swans, and other decorations that could distract you.
Recently with The Legend of Assassin update, guides were added and some parts of the path were lengthened, so this level became even easier to complete.
Strategy
The best way to complete this level is to follow the known paths.

This was because it took too long for Google Play to approve of The Faded Original update.
The music for this level is a modified (deleted beats) version of the original music with more connecting dots, which may be the reason for the modification。
On August 8th, 2018, Dancing Line uploaded the music teaser exclusively for the level on the official YouTube channel.
The Ugly Duckling is based off of the beloved fairy tale of the same name, written by author Hans Christian Andersen.
The Ugly Duckling marks the first fairy tale to be adapted into a level.
Mockingly, the line changes from a grey color to a white color, similarly to the titular character.
The Ugly Duckling is the third level in which the line can run on water without being rather an obstacle or deathtrap. The first level is The Earth, from 70% onward, in which the line enters a pipe. The second level is The West. The first part is around 57-58%, in which the line crosses a river. The second part is from 75-80%, in which the line crosses a pond.
The line runs on a rainbow (from 64-84%), a way in which the developers used as a substitute for flying in the air.
When playing in Ultra, the player can be able to see the shadow of the line.
From 48-62%, seasons can be seen changing continuously, the first scene being spring, the second being autumn, and the third being winter - a direct reference to the fairy tale, where the titular character spends autumn and winter alone (until said character meets the swans).
Another level that has seasons changing is The Valentines. (Evidently, each window with the mailbox at the end shows spring, winter, as well as summer, respectively, with the exception of autumn.)
The name Story of Duckling was originally used when the official Dancing Line YouTube channel officially uploaded the music teaser.
There is a visual glitch at the end where the line doesn’t collect the last crown.
There are two times where the line cuts the grey duckling off from the rest of the ducklings (22%, and 29%) perhaps symbolizing how the ugly duckling was cut off from the other ducklings.
Oddly, only the head of the mother duck is solid in the first group, but the whole mother duck is solid in the second (You can pass through the pack of ducklings in the first group)
The crown checkpoint position is change differently.
: 30%
: 50%
: 60%
