Latest review

First review round: 17.3 weeks. Overall rating: 1 (bad). Outcome: Rejected.

Motivation:
The reviewers provided constructive and valuable feedback, which I appreciated. However, I found the overall processing time quite long — over four months — and was disappointed that the paper was ultimately rejected despite the positive and helpful reviewer comments. A more transparent and efficient editorial decision process would improve the overall experience.
