This was a really nice visual novel!
In a lot of ways, my heart went out to Xael. He wasn't exactly a good person, but it was very obvious that he cared for Prin a lot.
Whether we chose to be unkind to him, or somewhat sweet, he still seemed to love Prin regardless. It was also nice to know that he had attempted to shield Prin from his misdeeds.
I sort of want to know more about Xael (and about his time with Prin). It would be interesting to see what events led to this, as well as to see what comes after since I have to wonder if Xael will outlive even the prison that holds him. Or, if there's an actual story to Prin helping him escape!
Even if we don't get more of a story, Hollow Victory was delightful and I thoroughly enjoyed the little conversations we could have with Xael.
