Latest review

Outcome: Drawn back.

Motivation:
We submitted our paper to the journal on 2 Dec 2025. It then remained stuck in "With Editor" status for nearly three months until we withdrew it. Despite multiple enquiries, we received no meaningful information, no updates, and no resolution whatsoever. The lack of response was truly astounding.
