I've always found On the Road to have a certain element of "joy" in it... it's a very happy read, despite all the times the word "sad" is elicited. The book is pure positivity.
Everyone's an idiot but it's kind of endearing.

Your last clause describes the author, not the actual events of the drafted book, such as it is. The pro/antagonists get away with their crimes and go on living.
Of a party of 46 (which include the rarely-mentoned help), 16 "survive and come back" (to Paris). No mention is made of anyone ever getting a comeuppance for what they have done, or participated in.
There are eight classes of person (or nine or ten, depending on how you choose to look at it). Of these, exactly four survive, PLUS one wife, being the above-and-below 16 persons:
the four friends, (that is, ALL four)
the four storytellers, (that is, ALL four)
the four LARGE, named Fuckers (that is, FOUR of the EIGHT total, who are practically two different classes. The smaller four are killed with the rest as an afterthought)
the three cooks (that is, ALL three. The three Scullery maids, like the above smaller fuckers, can be thought of as a separate class, and are dispatched)
And finally, exactly one wife survives (that is, ONE of the four) as an exception, since she has become depraved and helps the proceedings. All other wives are killed.
Everyone else is killed, and most of them as afterthoughts in March, after the actual 120 days have elapsed.
