First review round: 19.4 weeks. Overall rating: 4 (very good).
Outcome: Accepted.
Motivation:
The review process took a bit longer than expected, but I noticed that the recruitment of suitable reviewers caused the delay. Once the invitations were accepted, the reviewing time was quite reasonable. The first round of reviews was thorough and accurate, although one reviewer's comments felt uncomfortable. In the second round, this reviewer mentioned that, in hindsight, he realized his comments were a bit harsh. Overall, the reviewing process improved the paper and pointed out subtle issues.
