Just read Chapter Thirty-Two, witnessing Snape brutally killed by Voldemort, the vast majority of readers were undoubtedly thrilled!
"Deserved it!"
"The only regret is that it wasn't Harry Potter who killed Snape!"
"Yeah."
"To die just like that, thinking about it, it was too easy for him."
"When I think of Dumbledore, I wished Snape died even more miserably."
"Though I suppose his manner of death was suffocating."
"Voldemort killed him over a misunderstanding without even blinking."
"Similar to Wormtail's death."
"Chu Kuang wanted to express the idea that evil breeds evil."
"In the end, he even gave a memory to Harry."
"This guy probably felt remorse before dying, or maybe he hated Voldemort, so he wanted to help Harry."
"Hmph."
"Even if he helped Harry, I won't change my opinion of him."
"Let's see what's in the memory."
...
The plot didn't keep readers waiting long.
In Chapter Thirty-Three, "The Prince's Tale" unfolds, and Harry enters Snape's memory.
