Submitting the manuscript was easy. After that, I waited for ~10 weeks before I sent an e-mail to ask about the status. Initially, the editorial office told that our manuscript was with the editor (which I also read on their website) and that they asked the editor for an update. Since I didn't get any feedback, me and my professor made additional inquiries with no results. Finally, we sent an ultimatum on which they didn't respond as well. We lost our trust in the reviewing process and draw back our manuscript. Cynically, the editorial office sent a confirmation of the withdrawn manuscript in 3 hours. A lot of time was wasted.
