I mean, all those games you compared Witcher 3 are a whole different genre, one which is heavily focused on fast-paced combats to begin with. Of course TW3 would feel slow if your whole reference are hack-and-slash, since TW3 is, first and foremost, a RPG. And from what you state about the story, it doesn't give much of the impression you've taken many detours.
All in all, sounds more like an issue you have with western RPGs more than the game itself, issue that comes from judging them under the same criteria than action-oriented games, which seems the ones you came from before playing TW3, and expecting things games of that genre don't really aim towards.
