On “Can't you just write C without any pointers?”
As far as pointers go, I found that this video does a good job of explaining while keeping things clear.

On “Best Pointers Explanation”
Good explanations of pointers are a dime a dozen, but here’s one from a creator I like a lot link to this video

On “Learning too "quickly"”
You’re fine. People gripe about C because it’s not Python or Java (python because it’s so easy to learn, Java because it’s what most people learn first) but it’s actually a pretty simple language. Its simplicity is why I quite like it.
Pointers are where things start really getting fun (and where most people start complaining about C’s supposed difficulty) so I’m excited for you to learn about them. If you have trouble this video is good and is from a creator I really like. Lmk if you run in to any trouble and I can probably answer most questions
