this isn't the end of the story

For instance, when telling a story and you reach the end, you can use either phrase. However, 'end of story' might be more commonly used in casual speech, while 'end of the story' could be seen as a bit more formal, but this difference is very subtle.

It could be that 'end of story' has become a common idiomatic expression, and people use it habitually. Also, in some cases, leaving out 'the' gives a more emphatic or final feel to the phrase.

Well, 'end of the story' or 'end of story' is often used when someone wants to wrap up a narrative or explanation. For example, if you're telling a friend about a problem you had at work and how you solved it, you might say 'end of the story' at the end to show that there are no more details or developments to add. It can also be used in a more figurative sense, like when you've made a decision and there's no going back, you can say it to emphasize finality.
