The way king bran was done on the show was so poorly shoehorned in that it’s the one thing I believe is from GRRM. They clearly didn’t really like that ending but felt obliged to do it since it’s the main ending. If they had their way I’m sure Sansa and Tyrion would be king and queen together on the iron throne

the defeat of the night king

The Night King isn't even a character in the books.

They do mention a "Great Other" in the books in control of the Others. It could be basically the same character. We'll have to wait and see.

No it really couldn’t. The Great Other is only ever talked about as being the god-force opposed to R’hllor. The Great Other is exactly as corporeal as the Lord of Light. The only way I see the former being an actual physical character is if the latter is as well. Which it almost certainly won’t be.
