Native English speakers, could you please help me with this issue?

Does this sentence make sense "As we can see from this video, it seems that all ducklings have it hard, and not only the so-called 'ugly duckling'..." And does the following sentence sound better than the former: "As we can see from this video, it seems that life is hard for all ducklings, and not only for the so-called 'ugly duckling'..."

This video suggests that life is hard for all ducklings, not just the so-called "ugly duckling."

I would lose the word "and" in the second sentence and use that.

Both are perfect. Good job dude!

Both sentences are fine. I actually prefer the first one, depending on how the sentence will be used, since the first version is more casual.
