Comments of chapter undefined of The Royal Contract

Hi, author. I'm a fan of your story so far. What I don't understand is, why do the chapters keep ending up as cliffhangers? Like it's not supposed to end but it did, and the next chapter is something else altogether. It's a bit frustrating and annoying because it feels like there are ways to develop the characters more than jumping around between them and then doing flashbacks of it. Just my two cents.
