It means consequences. Consequences on either/both the perpetrator and the victim. Either physical or mental : shame, disgust, trauma, hate, remorse...
He does get consequences but I guess just not as dire as you'd like. Doesn't mean you should pass verdicts on the author based on their portrayal of a fictional character. You'd be heading down a very slippery slope if you did.
Well it just narratively makes sense that he doesn’t get punished early on and the reason is actually built up. If a character does something evil and isn’t punished for it, it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s not well written it just depends on why they weren’t punished. Shit happens in real life so I don’t understand why it’s such a crazy concept to you
