* HeinousnessRetcon: Early in the series, jealous of Lisette's (Red Riding Hood) closeness to Wilhelm, [[ManipulativeBastard Prince Ludwig]] tricks her into [[SelfMadeOrphan killing her parents]] by making her believe they sold her and her grandmother as sacrifices to the Wolf, in exchange for a bag of gold. Realising this made the character come across as irredeemable, later works retconned her parents into being horrifically abusive towards her, even forcing Lisette into prostitution from a young age.

Ludwig Revolution is an idiosyncratic take on classic fairy tales, told as only Creator/KaoriYuki can. The central story is about the flamboyant, narcissistic Prince Ludwig as he travels across the land in search of a suitable wife. Accompanied by his trusty manservant Wilhelm, Ludwig encounters a diverse cast of fair maidens from various fairy tales. ''Snow White'', ''Cinderella'' and many more are completely retold, and the resulting stories are sometimes unexpectedly hilarious, while at other times cruelly twisted.
