Thanks for the "cutie" remark, though

That's you?!

Honestly, the cheap chains seem fine. I usually buy KMC chains. No problems yet.

And snarkypup (again): I suggest you give just a little time to working on bikes so that you learn some. There's no need to aim to reach a certain level of proficiency. As long as you are learning, that's the most rewarding thing. Read "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" if you haven't yet.
