Allright, I'm trough. took about 25h. a bit short for 70 bucks and the Story is quite disappointing. the loading time is Long at any Point of the game and it was even longer before the last patch I heared. I think I made all optional bosses, but not sure. I expected a bit more of this.

25 hours is a rushed way to play... and i doubt you did all the extra zones with 25 hours. And even further doubt you did the chalice dungeons.

25 hours is pretty fast. It took me ~55 hours to finish the game, and I haven't done any Chalice dungeons, PvP, farming, nor just messing around.
Did you use a guide that tells you where to go? Because that can dramatically lower your clear time. Either that or you ignored many mobs and rushed through them.
Regarding the story, it's more lore than story. That has always been the case with the Souls games. If you prefer straightforward story-telling & do not enjoy connecting dots trying to figure out what the hell is going on, then it's expected that you wouldn't enjoy a Souls game. =/

Took me 43 hours and I cleared all optional bosses and about 1/3 of all chalice dungeons. Fought both the final "Optional" bosses as well. I also spent some time farming gems.
If I hadn't done that, it would have been about 35 hours. I would say 25 is very quick and you probably missed a lot.
But don't worry.. you can play again, and again, and again, and again...
There's also the memory leak AI bug that makes boss fights easier. Some people might have triggered that without knowing.

Most games don't offer that, last ~30 hours for 60 dollars, probably even once a year.
I stink at Visceral Attacks. I beat stuff that most people visceral by luring the opponent into any easily dodgeable attack. Get hit a lot if I misread what they're doing xD

Ya the first playthrough is easymode souls games... the NG+ is when it becomes a real souls game.
Well the Witch of Hemwick was a bit of a disappointingly easy boss!

yes they need to make the adds more hostile and spawn more frequent the longer the fight takes. or just start with 3 witches.
Abhorrent beast was the only boss that was difficult in the game. Actually a lot of the hunters were way harder than the bosses lol

The bosses are just like anything else. Eventually you learn all their moves and can kill them pretty easy because you know exactly what they will do before they do it.
I would say out of all the non-chalice bosses or dungeons, the final two "Optional" bosses were the hardest. (without spoiling anything)
More due to their speed than anything else.
Part of the boss'(any boss) difficulty is that...I'm human. The game is testing my patience. I killed many bosses on my first try, but there were others whom I was supposed to kill on my first try, but couldn't outlast them due to entering the fight with limited resources...then they'll keep killing me for the next 5 tries that I enter with 20 vials because I'm getting impatient.

So I used a guide to locate the NPCs I want to save them all! Well, if I hadn't used a guide I would have probably sent that one NPC to the clinic and not been able to talk to the crying woman.
Out of curiosity though, with the little girl side-quest, have I pretty much messed it up by using the red brooch?

If you give her the red brooch her side quest ends
I can explain the step by step for that quest if you want, and the failure steps you don't want to take

Yea, no responses are failure states, well, the quest ends at that point.

if brooch is used you can continue the quest, according to the wiki,

but if ya return after a certian time it becomes impossible

If you progress too far in the story before completing the quest, it becomes impossible to complete as checking the window will yield "[No Response]" like many other windows and door around Central Yharnam.
