Motivation: The reviewers' comments were reasonable and helpful to refine my manuscript. However, the second-round review took much more time than usual, so I pushed the editor many times to know the status of the review.

Motivation: Fair review - they identified clear weaknesses, which were mostly manageable, although too frequent or widespread for the editor to warrant a revision.

Motivation: Having five reviewers was quite helpful. While this resulted in many comments to address, the quality and breadth of the reviewer comments helped strengthen the final submission. The overall experience will help us in future submissions.

Motivation: We went through an intensive review process, which greatly improved the manuscript. In the end, we were still rejected, and although the authors disagreed with the main point of the reviewer that suggested rejection, it was a careful and thought-out review. We also appreciated the input and care from the editor, who in the first round of reviews gave detailed and productive comments, after split reviews, and in the last round of review, gave a proper justification for rejection.
