Is it normal having much less points than those behind you?

I win the game but get much less points than the second one: is it normal?
I got 74 versus 52, but they gave me 18 points and 21 to the second player…

Yes: https://boardgamearena.com/faq?anchor=faq_account_elo
You can see the details if you hover on your ELO ratings: https://boardgamearena.com/table?table=435881386

Nothing in this game is normal bro, including us for playing it besides having a crazy unbalanced points reward system

I don't understand what this means.

Whoever has the highest number of points at the end, wins. If you won a game, it means you had more points than all the other players.

What is "the second one"? The second what?

I assume you mean ELO points and not game points even though you mention game points in your post? If you have a high rating and the second place player has a low rating, then the second place player could gain more ELO points than you because 2nd place will gain more points from beating the remaining player(s) than you will. Also, you will not gain a lot from beating 2nd place and 2nd place will not lose a lot by losing to you, because that's the expected result. Also, I believe the ELO changes are amplified for newer players, so that could also be a factor if 2nd place does not have very many rated games.
