I need to finish this so badly but I'm too much of a coward

Just not for me. I've tried to play it several times but I've never been able to get into it. I think it has to do with the pace and how drawn-out everything is which I understand is a design choice but it didn't make for a particularly enjoyable experience

The reason it says it took me four years to complete the game was because I picked it up when chapter 5 was unreleased and came back to it after several years to finish it, which admittedly was probably not the best way to play it. It's pretty fun and cute, got some fun puzzles. Not bad if it's your thing although it is pretty short
