Motivation:
One of the two review reports received recommended the rejection of the manuscript. This review report was intentionally and unnecessarily long and contained a different point for any small thing that the reviewer deemed imprecise or missing. Most of the comments were not actually relevant to the work and some were clearly in contradiction to the manuscript's contents. Nonetheless, the editor decided to reject the manuscript based on this highly problematic review only.

Motivation:
The Editor who evaluated my paper was not from my field. Her PhD was in Molecular Medicines while my area is semiconductor Physics exactly The LED. It was very bad experience.

After we asked the Editor for any update regarding the paper the 1st round of review came quickly. Reports from 1 reviewer in particular were overly destructive and led to outright rejection.
