is there anything that has the bad guy win in the end?
i feel really tired with the storyline of "this one girl is the prophecy child, the only one who can stop this giant evil magic monster" or whatever the fuck, and against all odds they just luck or dues ex machina their way into the enemy base, sidestep all reality and get right to the enemies one, easly defendable weakness and exploit it to win.
is there anything where its just like, no fuck you, your main character's journey was shit and useless, they just lose at the end.i suppose that book ending would leave a really bad taste in the reader's mouth, but is there some short story or something like this?

Naw, but in all seriousness, I don't really know. Some books I've read are just kinda..meh as far as bad guy winning. Or bad scenario I should say.
Though, Richard Adams does a pretty good job of just...well, not exactly a fun endings type of thing. The Plague Dogs really got to me.
